How do I change my MTU?
I d/l'd the TCP Optimizer and put my MTU to 1500 then when I got back to the analyzer it still says 1492, and I rebooted also.

In control panel, click on Network connections:
Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front:
In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation.
In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says full-duplex or (b) at least does not say half-duplex. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with full-duplex, choose the 10.
Click OK to exit the Adapter settings.
Click OK to exit the Connection properties.
Close the Network and Dial-up Connections window

Select connection type at top, select adapter, select custom settings, enter 1 at a time in Tcp Recieve Window: 31944 or 63888, uncheck scaling under Tcp1323Opts, apply changes and REBOOT each time you change number in Optimizer if number Optimizer puts in does not work for you.
