sysco174 Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 Ok I have service through bell south 6.0 extreme. Then I got a new modem last night a Zoom X5v Voip Gateway and my MTU dropped from 1492 to 1472 and I cant get back to 1492 setting. I even manually input the correct settings in the reg and still nothing changed. And I have tcp optimizer and it cant change the MTU either. Help!!!???

coknuck Posted December 30, 2006 CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 sysco174, have you tried using Cablenut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysco174 Posted December 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sorry about that tommie gorman, thanks for the response and I'm glad to be here. And I was thinking about switching over to cable nut to give it a shot!! Since for some reason I cant get into speedguide.net forums to ask for help . Give me about 5 - 10 mins and I'll grab cable nut and get my speed back up and zoom'n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysco174 Posted December 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 Since I'm with bell south ISP with the 6.0M extreme package w/ XP pro sp2. When using cable nut should I use the settings for PPPOE or would the other DSL settings work just fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sysco174 Posted December 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 30, 2006 A few places I have looked was saying that PPPOE MTU should be 1492 even just using windows stock settings. But I could be wrong also Im a geek but not quite a super geek! Butt one day I will reach that spot of super geek lol Thanks for the help guys!!
