in addition to this article :

you may also need to edit the branches with 000x (with x being a 1, 2, 3, etc...)
under the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans
I actually (which I am not sure if this causes registry problems or not) edited and
if where necessary added the MaxMTU string val to each MaxMTU key under the 000x
branches.
From what I have read, MTU values that work are 1500, 1450, 1452, and 1492. I have
actually read a bunch of different responses from people using different values.
I used 1200 and it worked, go figure! If you open a command prompt, and type the
following command:
ping -f -l 1500 192.168.0.1
you can test what MTU val you will need to enter. To test this, use the above command,
replacing the 1500 with different MTU vals, and replacing the 192.168.0.1 with your
default gateway (chances are you are using ics, if so, your ip is 192.168.0.1).
The desired response from this ping is a positive reply. If you get a "destination
host unreachable response" or a response that says the request needs to be fragmented,
then that is not the MTU val for you. Once you found the val, make the changes to
the registry, restart, ping that val again. If you get a fragmented response, you
should be in business
Good luck! (email me if you need me.)
