PPPoE MTU in Windows XP
From an e-mail the head PPPoE developer at MS sent me "Unfortunately we don't have a regkey to change the MTU value for PPPoE. What should happen is that the ISP should negotiate the correct MRU in PPP for their network. We will support that and set the MTU accordingly."

So I guess we can stop trying.

Bob, would you see if you can help Carla in Networking Forum, she has a PPPoE problem

I'll go there now.... That's an RWIN issue, doesn't look (to me) like it has anything to do with PPPoE... What I'm basically saying is I know little about reg editing.

Don't I feel silly. That'll teach me to go to Speedguides first. Shoulda known it starts here.

Now I'm doubly sure there isn't an MTU key in XP.

Thanks for not rubbing it in too much.
