If
you are having difficulty opening certain
websites while using Windows NT, your Maximum
Transfer Unit or default information packet
size may be too large. All data transmission
across the internet is done by transferring
packets of information from computer to
computer. Some network routers prevent the
transfer of packets they feel might be overly
large due to virus infection. If this is
a problem, you will need to reduce the default
packet size that is leaving your machine.
To do so, follow these steps in Windows
NT:
-
Click
the start button
-
Choose
RUN
-
Enter
regedt32 in the command line and click
ok
-
The
registry editor will open
-
In
the registry directory structure on
the left, locate and expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
and then expand through the following
path:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTSPPPoE6\Parameters\Tcpip
Note: the entry for the NTSPPPoE
section may vary depending on the
version of the Highspeed software
installed. The latest will appear
as NTSPPPoE6
-
Once
you have selected the tcpip key, click
EDIT from the menus at the top of the
window.
-
Choose
ADD VALUE
-
Enter
the value name as MTU
-
Select
REG_DWORD for Data Type
-
Click
OK
-
On
the next screen enter 1400 in the DATA
section, and under RADIX select the
decimal option
-
Click
OK to save and close the Regedit32 window
-
Restart
your computer
Websites you previously had difficulty with
should now be accessible.
