What were the results? Were you connecting via the router when you tested?
Did you also run DrTCP? =>

NOTE: If the issue continues to occur, repeat the preceding steps, but type
a different MTU value between 1,454 and 576. When you test additional MTU
values, try 576 and then increase the number to 600. If setting the MTU
value to 600 does not resolve the issue, increase the value by 100 until you
reach 1,400. If the issue continues to occur, try 1,454 and then stop. When
you are finished, if the issue is still not resolved, change the MTU value
back to 576.
...The maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting controls the maximum size of
a TCP/IP packet that your computer sends. If the Internet service provider
has a limit for what can be received, your packets may become fragmented,
thus causing problems.
