That's not true. I have AOL 7.0 and Verizon DSL via WinXPPPoE connection. When I installed AOL, my MTU was set back to 1400. I had to manually edit it to 1480 in the registry. Can't go any higher.. but I don't need to anyway. My speeds are fine. But my MTU was adjustable.Originally posted by mnosteele52
Hehehehe, yep AOL will effect his settings. Supposedly I did find out that in version 7.0 you cannot change MTU, so that's probably the problem, so the only thing to do is make RWIN a multiple of MSS (1422).![]()
