Those whom have followed previous threads learned that for whatever reason, when I dial-up using pppd or wvdial, I have an MTU of 0 automatically assigned. This caused all kinds of fun issues. What I have been doing is manually changing it after I connect via
ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1500 This stands in the way of having my box be automated. I tried specifying the ppp0 connection and the MTU in my /etc/network/interfaces file, but that did not help. Apparently every time a connection is made, the MTU is reset. I think that I need some post-execution script put on ether pppd or wvdial to run the above ifconfig command. How do I do that? Please keep in mind, this is my 7th day using Linux, so please list instructions in verbose mode :) A somewhat related question: What should I have my MTU set to? Based on what I have read, 1500 is a bit too high for optimal performance. This is a Verizon Wireless PPP over cellular connection. Verizon claims 100k/400k up/down speeds. Thanks in advance.
