HOW-TO set MTU in Windows 2000 and NT4!
It took me a little while to find this article, so I thought "gee, I should post
this somewhere useful!"
Please note that what follows has been automatically translated from French by Google.com's
translation engine. That's why it reads all funny.

(I don't know if that's going to continue to be a valid link through Google, so I'll
paste all the translated text for you)
In case you want to replicate my search, use this search term: mtu windows 2000

How to determine < interface name > under Windows 2000
On each one of our Windows 2000 I found three interfaces of which only one is completely
filled and contains address IP of your machine.
In that which contains your address IP add MTU with like value decimal 1500
Select the good interface
Select the window of right-hand side (that which contains the parameters of your
chart network)
click with Right mouse button
In the new Value type MTU
Double click on MTU and return the value decimal 1500
Reboot
