For the more sensitive of our members, please accept my apologies
for the loud noise.
Thanks Michael.
sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1464
was the sweet spot. My problem with uploading and sending large/
long e-mails is now resolved.
It might be that adjusting settings in the VoIP or router will fix it
too. Lowering the MTU
on the router adsl interface by 36 bytes might work, too. Then it's
fixed in one place,
you won't have to touch your desktops.
One last question. How do I fix the MTU setting so I don't have to
reset it each time I reboot. For my desktop this is not really a
problem - it's on 24/7, but I'd rather just have it sorted.
It depends, it depends on the distro, how new it is or how it's
already configured.
I guess I would probably edit /etc/network/interfaces and add
up ifconfig eth0 mtu 1464
to the eth0 stanza. I'm not sure if the interfaces file supports
setting MTU or whether
you need to do it like I did above with an up command. Also,
NetworkManager
complicates things.
