Guest Gordon Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 I've run PC Pitstop and it's advised me to add the MTU registry key to optimize my network speed. The key its says to add is in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\[Adapter ID]. When I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ I see THREE different adapter IDs. How do I know which is the correct one? I am running a Toshiba Tecra 9000 wirelessly, but it also has an NIC as well which is not used. Thanks!
Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Tweaking MTU Gordon, You have to be careful tweaking the MTU as you may lose Internet connection. The adapter your application is talking about is the one used to access the Internet I would contact the ISP & ask them what it is before messing with the value -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Gordon" <gbplinux@gmail.com.invalid> wrote in message news:%23ydBpVb1HHA.484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > I've run PC Pitstop and it's advised me to add the MTU registry key to > optimize my network speed.

Guest Curt Christianson Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Tweaking MTU Hi Gordon, If you want to experiment with MTU, and a few other settings,try going to : http://www.dslreports.com/tools Take the "Tweak Test". It will report back what it finds, and also allow you to download and use Dr.TCP, which allows you to vary MTU, etc. through a GUI, rather than doing a Registry hack directly. Be sure to read thoroughly before doing any kind of "tweaking", not matter how "safe". -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "Gordon" <gbplinux@gmail.com.invalid> wrote in message news:%23ydBpVb1HHA.484@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... | I've run PC Pitstop and it's advised me to add the MTU registry key to | optimize my network speed.
