Best way to do it, is to change one thing at a time. MSS should always 
be 536 and MRU should always be 40 higher than it. Other values can 
and do fail. This happened to me today and I had to revert back to the 
standard settings, so messing with these particular ones is not for 
the feint hearted! :-)

Try enlarging the "attach" buffer size and the "tcp" window size (I 
don't the upper limit offhand), I've got them just under 32K atm.
