While I agree, It's 10498% easier when you have a cluless DSL customer on the horn, and you want to change thier MTU, if you use this app rather than trying to explain to them what a registry even is.
Not being a real windows know-it-all, this is a guess, but I had to diddle with registry settings yesterday to get Outlook to stop crashing on startup. Short version is that you can export a "piece" of the registry as a .reg file. It seems you could go to the section where MTU is set and export it, and then simply put a link to the file on your support site. Have the user clicky-click on the link and answer "yes" to everything, and wham-o. A similar example is here: http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks?item=RWIN A bit off-track, but can anyone using Redback stuff give a quick yes/no to this: Can the Redback, on a 1483-bridged customer where the pvc is known do dhcp based on the pvc the dhcp request comes from? What other trickery does it do if you are dead-set against PPPoE but still need some authentication and enforcement of addresses? Alex - Does VZ do one pvc/customer or group hundreds together on one pvc still? Charles
