MICHAEL IS THE MAN!
:)
For the more sensitive of our members, please
accept my apologies for the loud noise.
Thanks Michael.
sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1464
was the sweet spot. My problem with uploading and
sending large/long e-mails is now resolved.
One last question. How do I fix the MTU setting so
I don't have to reset it each time I reboot. For
my desktop this is not really a problem - it's on
24/7, but I'd rather just have it sorted.
Regards,
Patrick
