I have a question about Can't
access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection:
I've tried to find my MTU number but I have run into a problem. When I try ping
-f -l MTU IPAddress it tells me Packet needs to be fragmented for 1492 and 1500.
I understand that this is working properly but when I try it with an MTU 0f 1454
it just times out. It continues to time out as I lower the number until I get to
1372. The post didn't say anything about time outs so I thought I'd post a question.
Is this going to be a problem or can I just use 1372 as my MTU number?
