Forums - Microsoft - Xbox Live Connection, Need Help, What the hell is MTU?

I recently (5 minutes ago) discovered that I can log into XBL because my MTU settings on my router are too low, what the hell does that mean and does anyone know how to fix it? It was working fine yesterday.

What kind of router do you have?

The MTU is the maximum size of a packet of data that can be sent over your connection.



MTU = Maximum transmission unit

However no one can log into xbox live today. I still can't, they took it down for 24 hours for "exciting new features".

It did the same thing to me when I test the connection, it didn't did it before when live was up yesterday, so I'm just guessing that if the connection is down maybe it throw off your mtu.



My favorite games for this gen:

1. Gears of War    2. MGS4    3. Killzone 2   4. Halo 3(Underated by many)      5. Mass Effect

Yeah its, just live being down thats causing the problem with MTU. Wait till tomorrow.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
