I have a question about Getting Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to work with PPPoE:

After setting up my LAN, shared the ADSL (PPPoE) with Windows ICS, found no problems with the Server PC but the clients are getting "page cannot be displayed" errors with some sites especially Yahoo! mail and Hotmail. Tried to manually looked for the best MTU for the clients by pinging the DNS, tried different values and the value where the client PC would successfully send and receive packets is at 548. Anything higher than this will cause TIME OUT. Tried to edit the registry to put 548 at the IPMTU but it won't accept it. I guess it's because windows is set to have 576 or 567 as the minimum value for the MTU. How could I resolve this issue?? thanks so much for the help.

Joe's List / System cleanup

Search on "change mtu size in xp" at Google. Lots of hits.

Also, buy a router, drop ICS. Makes life a lot easier.

Repair install / 
Clean install
