[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 146868, member: 8287"] Open up System Preferences then Network then click on the ethernet port. You will see 5 areas you can select starting with TCP/IP and the last Ethernet. Select the Ethernet Tab and you will see the Ethernet ID and Configure. Click and change it from Automatically to Manually (Advanced. There you can change your MTU. Just select the Custom and put in 1492. Hope that helps. It's the same in both Panther and Tiger. MTU means, Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. DSL should be set at 1492. [/QUOTE]
