No. With the end points set to an MTU lower than the m0n0wall devices, you remove them from the equation. > 2. Will I have any problems with Drtcp on 2003 server? I have used it on > XP before with no problem, but I don't want to munge my servers. I always do the direct registry entry, so I do not know. > 3.

Will the others that are working fine > start having problems if I reduce the server MTU and not their MTU also? MTU is "supposed" to be negotiated. And we know how well Microsoft follows the standard. It "should" work just set on the server. You may have to set every device in practice. I have had to do this for many systems that could not brows some websites like microsoft.com and it was MTU. Gotta love it! Lee |
