Setting Maximum Transmission Units (MTU) in Mandrake 10.1
From
looking at the difference between Mandrake and SuSE,
MTU can be set by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
At the moment it probably says something like
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
METRIC=10
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
Add a line that says
MTU=’1352’
and that should stick after a reboot. Of course, you
will need root permissions to edit the file.
