WinPoet
Windows 98: WinPoet does not provide user control over the PPPoE MTU under
Windows 98.
Windows 2000
WinPoet does not provide a user interface to control the MTU size, but you can control
it by explicitly setting the following registry key:
HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/class/<guid>/<adapternumber>
adapter(000x):
Value: MaxFrameSize
Value type: DWORD
Data: 1300 (or less)
The GUID and adapter number can vary on different systems. Browse through the
registry, looking for the MaxFrameSize value (CSCdu80463).
Caution
Edit the registry only if you are comfortable doing so. Incorrect registry
entries can make your PC unstable or unusable.
