[ILUG] eth0 timeouts

[ruairi at connect.ie]

Hi all,

I have a little problem which someone may be able to help me with... when
ftp'ing between two Linux boxen on a LAN here in the office, I get a timeout
on one or other of the boxes ethernet interface after about a meg or so of
the transfer.

I'm thinking that changing the mtu from it's default value of 1500 to
something else might help, but I don't know what an appropriate value to
change it to would be.   Or of course I COULD be barking up the wrong tree
altogether....

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Ruairi
