Hmm,

IIRC, it depends on whether you have configured your Ethernet card on the
MP3000
to be DIX or IEEE 802.2 compliant - one MTU was then 1500, the other 1492
(though
I don't remember which MTU where...).
The Ethernet card can be configured on the OS/2 SE with mpts;
the parameter is D for DIX or I for IEEE 802.2.

Kind regards,
Christoph

I suspect its something else. 1500 is the ethernet MTU, and even if
there was a mismatch with another LAN things ought to work properly due
to the way TCP/IP does mtu discovery between networks.

Your 'weird it works with 1492' is the kind of thing which makes the
network administrators nervous. Its a bit like "The brakes are a bit odd
but I use the handbrake when driving instead" 8)
