Download "TCP Optimizer" from http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php.
Set it to modify the settings for your network interface, and let it
find the largest MTU that doesn't fragment. Then set it to apply
optimal settings, which will require a reboot. This automates the
tedious mucking about in the registry. If you're on ADSL, it'll
almost certainly recommend 1492 instead of your default 1500.

Set this on all computers on your LAN, and set the router MTU to
match, then report back.
