If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail, we suggest lowering
the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).
Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.
To find the proper MTU Size, you'll have to do a special ping of the destination you're trying to go to. A destination could be another computer, or

. ping.[url].[-f].[-l].[MTU.value]
Example: ping.yahoo.com.-f.-l.1472
