The Nitty-Gritty (cont'd)

The second method is for the adventures few who want to get their hands dirty in the registry. BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM FILES FIRST JUST TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.Here's a step by step procedure of changing the MTU values:

1. Click Start, Run, type regedit and press Enter.

2. Click on the "+" sign in front of.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

3. Click on the "+" sign in front of 'Enum", then "Root" and then "Net".

4. The "Net" subkey will have one or more subkeys under it with names such as "0000", "0001", and soon.

5. Click on each key and a string of the associated values will appear on the right side of the window. Find the one with the name "DeviceDesc" with the value of "Dial-Up Adapter" listed in the "Data" column.

6. Click on the "+" sign in front of this particular key (with DeviceDesc= Dial-Up Adapter in it) and click the Bindings subkey. In the fight hand window you will see a string name listed like "MSTCP\0000". Take note of that 4-digit number for the next step.

7. Proceed to the "Network" key under "Enum", expand that and then expand the "MSTCP" key. Click on the 4-digit key with the same number as the one you noted earlier.

8. In that key, in the window on the fight, there's a string called "Driver" with a value resembling "NetTrans\0002". Take note of the 4-digit number

9. Under the "HKEY LOCAL_MACHINE" folder, click on the "+" next to "System" to expand the folder. Under that folder, click the "+9' on "CurrentControlSet," "Services," "Class," and finally "NetTrans."

10. Click on the 4-digit key (not on the '+" sign) with the same number as the second one you noted. You will see a list of string values 'with names such as "IP address" and "DriverDesc".

11. With the 4-digit number still highlighted, under the Edit Menu, select New/String Value. Name the new value "MaxMTU". Hit "Enter" to finish.

12. Right-click on the new string name and choose "Modify." In the "value data" field type the value of MTU you want ( For ex:576) and press Enter.

13. Close the Registry Editor, Exit your programs and reboot windows
