For some reason the MTU test keeps failing on Xbox 360 Live auto detect. It finds everything else but stops there. I know DSl isnt as fast as cable but come on. Tried running it right thought modem direct, changed cables, messed with router. Put encryption on router tho, and channel is at 11 doubt that has much to do with it.

Argh, i guess there's MTU problems with westell modems, need a firmware upgrade stat argh

Just another lame MAF thread that he gets away with for some reason. Move along, there's nothing to see here.

I guess you guys are too dumb to know networking problems when you see them.

Thats ok cause so am I.

Why didnt the original Xbox cry about this crap.

Ok so I have a Wirespeed 2100 from fukin verizon. I cant find new firmware for it. so im not sure what to do. I cant access its setup and there's nothing in the user manual about adjust MTUs

I guess they're doing some QoS shit with XBL now that requires a minimum MTU of 1364? Bizarre.

I've been going fucking nuts tweaking my system to get it to run faster b/c I'm running 10 mbps ethernet into my laptop and then kicking it out to my ps2 with a USB->ethernet adapter. Not ideal, but since the building only allows one MAC and I don't feel like spoofing my PS2 Mac to my PC and then re-registering, I don't have too many reasonable options. Other problem- my dl speeds (~800kbps) are completely lagging my upload speeds (~3000 kbps) despite the fact that tweaking my MTU brought d/l up from ~200 (!). Very frustrating since right now online is mostly unplayable

Drinky and I figured it out with research. Apparently the wirespeed 2100 is a straighthrough modem, no firmware. SO I was looking at the wrong problem

I was thrown because a direct xbox to modem connection didnt work, but linksys (dunno why I missed this) has a setting for MTU, but it was set at auto and I cant begin to imagine what it was auto running at.

Anyway ill see you fuks on live!
