ValueData typeDescription
MaxMTU = 16-bit integerString Specifies the maximum size datagram Internet Protocol (IP) that can pass to a media driver. Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) and source routing header (if used on the media) are not included in this value. For example, on an Ethernet network, MaxMTU defaults to 1500. The actual value used is the minimum of the value specified with this parameter and the size reported by the media driver. The default value is the size reported by the media driver; an Ethernet network defaults to 1500 bytes and a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) dial-up connection defaults to 576 bytes.
ZeroBroadcastString If this parameter is set to 1, the IP uses zeros-broadcasts (0.0.0.0.) instead of ones-broadcasts (255.255.255.255.). Most systems use ones-broadcasts, but some systems derived from Berkeley Style Daemons (BSD) implementations use zeros-broadcasts. Interoperation does not work well on the same network for systems that use different broadcasts. Valid range 0 or 1 (false or true). The default value is 0.

  • Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
