i'm not sure if you meant 'ipconfig /all' for the XP box, but wha'ts
'ifconfig /all' on linux?

anyway - the mtu's are:
linux: 1500
mac: 1280
xp: got nothing with 'ipconfig /all' - no mtu.

i'm not sure i know what this tells me?
maximum transmittion unit?
maximum transfer unit?

all i know is the linux box continues to take forever to resolve websites.
