I recently relocated to Las Vegas, where Sprint/Earthlink is the dominant local provider of residential DSL services.
I'm connecting to Sprint's DSL modem (which is now set to pass IP packets through, rather than route them) via a D-Link DI-614+ router running 3.20 firmware. My computer is using the D-Link DWL-520+ PCI adapter. The Sprint connection is via PPPoE. When I first set the system up, I could hardly connect at all. A little digging through the D-Link documentation led me to experiment with reducing the MTU and that improved things considerably. I'm now down to a 1200-bit MTU and I connect OK much of the time, but I still have problems with my browser and email clients too often being unable to resolve hostnames without multiple attempts, even though my workstation is configured to query Sprint DNS servers directly. Has anyone hit on a magic number for the MTU setting that will enable my workstations reliably to resolve DNS queries on their first attempt, or is this a problem with which I'm just going to have to live?
