Re: ICS with XP host, ME client not quite working

Thanks . . . I feel like I'm getting closer but not quite there.

The second link was most instructive, and allowed me to determine the
maximum client MTU to be 1472. However, when I navigated through the
registry to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ Class\ Net\"
I was unable to find a key where the DriverDesc showed TCP/IP. (Two
had "F5D5000 . . . ", the third had "Internet Connection Sharing".)
Since I'm not much for experimenting with the registry, I didn't insert
a MaxMTU key anywhere.

Is the lack of a "TCP/IP" key unusual?

I've also been speculating on why just now does this MTU problem crop
up - I'm guessing it stems from the fact that when I first set up this
network the original release of XP was on the host. Now that the host
has been converted to SP1 perhaps system behavior got worse here, not
better.

Thanks -
