Sounds like you are pulling at straws here - but try and find out what the root of your problem is. If your packets are fragmented, then yes this will slow things down - but it could be totally irrelevant to your issue. If you bypass pfSense is everything fine? How do your traffic graphs look? (how many connections are you doing - check the state table)
If it is in fact your MTU - check with your ISP on what your MTU should be, you'll want to leave it matching theirs as changing MTU will just cause MORE packet fragmentation where it isn't necessary, or causing more packets with less data. And if your MTU is correct, your traffic is minimal, and you are still having latency issues start a trace and find the routers your traffic is passing through. Then test the MTU levels to each router to find out which router is causing your fragmentation. You should then point your ISP to that router. The random MTU guess isn't going to get you anywhere. Just my 2cents though... -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Juan Rivera [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 11:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [pfSense Support] RE: [SPAM] Re: [pfSense Support] RE: [SPAM] Re: [pfSense Support] website browsing ok I've done that but still the internet slow the MTU is not at 1400 but internet slow is there anything else that could be the problem -----Original Message----- From: Gary Buckmaster [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 1:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SPAM] Re: [pfSense Support] RE: [SPAM] Re: [pfSense Support] website browsing This is not the way to do this as the configuration will not survive reboots. You can set the MTU on the interface configuration page for your WAN interface in the webGUI. I would encourage you to check that out.
