you can also make route mtu changes as well so instead of changing the whole mtu size you could do ip r a 10.0.0.0/24 dev br0 mtu 1000 just change 10.0.0.0/24 with the address of the other box. This will only work for connections originating from your box, not tcp connections routing including nat'ing through your box > > > Cheers, > > John > -- > Unlike other cuisines, the Finnish one is most distinguishable by the > fact that none of the major traditional dishes have anything you could > remotely call flavo(u)r, and pretty much the only spice is salt. > -- Toni Lassila > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html >
