Hmmm... Well, I found a hack that seems to fix things...
I don't know if my earlier email got sent or not, so I'll reiterate some
problems I was having before: When I did a "ping -l 1464 magma.ca" (ping'd
my ISP with a packet 1464 in length) it came back fine, but when I did a
"ping -l 1466" the return ping would never come back. Sounds a lot like a
fragmentation problem.
After much hacking, recompiling the kernel, reading and re-reading the
FAQ, and banging my head against a wall, I tried (on a hunch) adding a
string key "MaxMTU" with value "1000" to my Win98 registry on the
appropriate network device
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->CurrentControlSet->Services->Class->NetTrans->0
003) (Replace 0003 by your network card if you want to try this).
Now I can't send ping packets > 1373 in size, but everything else works
smoothly.
Hurah for Win98!
If anyone knows exactly why what I just did worked (No more fragmented
packets bcause all my packets are so small?), and why it broke ping more,
please feel free to explain. :P
