MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit. In TCP/IP networking, this setting defines how many bytes are in each packet that moves across the network.  By default, all PPP connections at speeds below 128K use an MTU of 576.  At higher speeds, Windows 98 uses an MTU of 1,500.To adjust these settings, open the Network option in Control Panel, select Dial-Up Adapter, and click on the Properties button.  Click on the Advanced tab, and select the IP Packet Size entry in the Property list.  The Automatic setting shifts MTU size to match the connection speed; choose Large to set MTU size to 1,500, Medium for 1,000, or Small for 576.
