[Question] AOL Dial-up with XP and AT&T Net Client Treading very unfamiliar territory and need help bad. Situation is this: Have a new IBM machine with XP that I'm trying to load my work applications on so I can do work from home. In order to reach my company's Intranet and my mail server I need to use an application called AT&T Net Client. This is a dial-up application but has a feature (called MTS) that allows you to connect to your company's server through an existing internet connection, in my case AOL. When connected to AOL I activate Net client and it DOES connect to the company server / network. However the system searches endlessly when trying to bring up my company Intranet web site or when trying to replicate my mail. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with MTU. Had a previous machine with WinMe, running the very same combination of programs and had to adjust the MTU on that machine to make it work. Have read numerous articles on changing MTU for XP, downloaded DRTCP and tried to use it. Not sure if I'm using it right though relative to all the settings for my situation. Must have done something though because I somehow get a partial Intranet web page?? In the RAS dial-up field of DRTCP I plugged in MTU sizes of everything from 1370 (this is what came up as the max for my ping test) to 500 with basically no change so I'm either not using the tool right or it can't help me. Been screwing with this for a month now and running out of things to try. Don't want to directly screw with the Windows registry unless absolutely necessary. Any help on this problem would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
