Recently a customer of ours has been having an issue w/ remote login from mulitiple customers on there network. Our company installed, configured and setup A Sun Fire V250. The issue, there NetAdmin states, "Our customers are not able to login to your /our Sun Box because the MTU is at the default setting of 1500 and needs to be 1480 or 1460." This I (System Database Admin) believe is totally wrong. But to prove a point I would like to check the current settings and make changes if needed. I read some where before that the changes could be made in /etc/networks/interfaces, but not able to locate that directory...

any suggestions?

And I think you are right, normally you would only make those changes if you were going through a VPN.
