You can use ifconfig to set the MTU (there's more info in the man page). For example, to see what the MTU is set to for the eth0 interface:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 | grep MTU
To set the MTU (with my version of ifconfig):
Code:
sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400
You can run this from the system start up scripts so it gets done every time the box is booted (you won't need sudo to do it from the system scripts).
