Just got Belkin Wireless gaming adapter for Xbox 360, MTU problem

Hi

I just got a Belkin Wireless Gaming Adapter to connect my 360 to my Virgin Media network.

I have set it all up and entered the SSID and password. Yet it refuses to connect, telling me there is a MTU problem and it needs to be at least 1364 - however it is set to 1500 on the router.

Really confused. It connects to the network and the internet, it just won't sign into Xbox Live due to this MTU problem. Pulling my hair out over here....does anyone have an idea?

Thanks

    Try setting the same MTU on both devices, i.e. set 1500 on the adapter.
    I trhink all device should have the same MTU.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
