I like GUIs, but I also like getting things done via the command line. I was hunting around to see if there was a way to change the MTU setting for my NICs without having to edit the registry, and I found that the netsh interfaces context exposes this attribute:
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1500 store=persistent
I used this to change the MTU for my Wifi and Ethernet interfaces from 1300 — Cisco’s preferred setting from Win9x days — back to the Windows default. And now the performance problem I was having yesterday has been resolved. 🙂
