List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I can't see why you'd want to do this on an ethernet interface anyway since ethernet is tuned to handle mtu of 1500 and reducing it is just going to increase wire overhead and do nothing more. MTU discovery means that if something else has a lower mtu this will be communicated back to the kernel and th e networking stack will take care of it. Well just because I don't know why you want to do this doesn't mean it can't be done. Once the route to the interface is in place you need to del the route and re-add it with the mtu value so for example: route del 192.168.1.0 route add -net 192.168.1.0 dev eth0 mtu 768 and I think the ip tools can do this too try ip route help and ip nei help Regards, Kerry.

I put mtu 1000 after the line where it says iface eth0 inet dhcp. I restarted inetd and init, and the value hasn't changed. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?
