    how to permanently change mtu?


    hi, anyone can tell me how to permanently change the mtu for a given network device in win7? the cmd "netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “NameOfConnection” mtu=XXXX store=persistent" does not work for me: mtu value goes back to initial after reboot...
    thank you

    hi,
    you can modify the windows registry for this as well.

    click start type regedit the navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\[Adapter ID]]

    (Find the correct adapter you want to change on your machine, there may be multiple entries depending on the number of adopters you may have)

    the right click and create a new REG_DWORD, name it MTU, set the value after that.

    hope this helps

    Cheers !!
