My ISP uses a standard dhcp server to give me my address -- no pppoe involved. Plus my problem isn't with communicating with external stuff. Just the opposite, in fact. However, I did some experimenting by setting the mtu in the Network Manager "edit connections" box. It started out as "automatic", which seemed to be 1500. I changed that to 1400 and got about twice as much data transferred with my scp command as I ever managed before before the router locked up. I then changed it to 1350 and it locked up after transferring about 25% of what I could transfer with the default 1500 setting. So... this suggests that if I can just find the correct magical mtu setting, I might be in business. Which leads to the question: How can I find out what the proper mtu setting might be? It's interesting that the other Intel laptop works fine using the default 1500 setting. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
