Also, if you are using Ethernet, the typical MTU will be 1500. An instance where you would see a different MTU value would be for the loopback interface (lo0), and modem connections. IIRC, those are typically 296. One final note...if you use ndd to change a setting in one of the modules in the TCP/IP stack and suddenly find you cannot communicate at all, reboot the host. This will return the settings to their original configuration. ndd is only in effect as long as the box is up and running.
