mtu settings

[reggler]

Hi There,

I just installed 8.10 and realized that my network connection is ridiculously slow. and ifconfig showed me that for some reason my MTU settings were out in the bush (set to 675 or something) so I made a 'ifconfig eth0 mtu 1464' which brought my network speed back. Now I wanted to paste this line into my /etc/sysconfig/network file but there is no sysconfig...? how are my network connections setup and what is this:
root@reg-desktop:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... [ OK ]
root@reg-desktop:~#
Is this because of NwetworkManager? Or what's screwed here?

Thank you!
Ron

Please post the output from a terminal of:

cat /etc/network/interfaces

Please post the output from a terminal of:

cat /etc/network/interfaces

course, here we go:

reg@reg-desktop:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

reg@reg-desktop:~$

i have two network cards in my machine, eth0 & eth1 but only eth1 is currently connected

Re: mtu settings

You've confused me. In your original post you speak of using ifconfig to set the mtu for eth0, and in the last post you say only eth1 is connected.


Are you using dhcp or a static IP?

If you follow my instructions here:

when you edit your interfaces file, you can include the command

mtu 1464

I don't know if this works with dhcp or not, but try it and see what happens.

See man interfaces for more info.

Thanks, looks like a good how-to. I guess the removal of the networkmanager is what i was looking for eh?

I'll play with it tonight.

Thanks dude,
