RE: IP masquerading and ADSL



At least on my Windows 2000 MTU of 1536 was used after connection was
opened using the Bezeq dialer... Did you compute the MTU yourself or
used some reference? If I understand well, you need to substract from
1500 the size of all headers added by PPTP, corect?

Thanks,
Haim.
