If you want to change it for a specific interface, you can do it in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface> using the MTU=1600
option. If you want to know more about the different interface
files, and the options in them, you may want to read
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-<version>/sysconfig.txt.

But setting the MTU higher than permitted on the physical media is not
likely to work. For example, ethernet is normally restricted to 1500.
Also, this setting doesn't include the ethernet header and trailer bytes
so if you are working with 'baby giant' packets with devices that
support them you may still need a setting a bit less than 1600.

You didn't say if you were running Gnome or not, but in the Network
Configuration system panel you can just edit the Ethernet device you
want to change. MTU option is on the bottom.

Thank you so much for your suggestion

I am using the host as router.

my teleco company requests us to set mtu as 1600 that I have to set to our end

Do you know whether it is good to set up 1600 ?
as DSL modem is currently supporting frame size 1492 in this time?

Thank you again

*//*
I'm somewhat confused... I assume your running fedora since you haven't
specified otherwise and this is a fedora list. Unless you disabled it,
you should be running with X enabled both during boot and afterwards.
