Iperf and Windows


Hello
 
I run Iperf version 1.7.0 in 2 PC´s with 100 Mbps cards, connected using a crossover cable. Both got Windows XP. When I try to run commands like -m, -M or -w, they dont work.
 
It looks like Windows doesn´t allow to read MSS (Maximun Segment Size) because I get this message when I use -m to do so:
MSS and MTU size unknown (TCP_MAXSEG not supported by OS?)
 
So to determine this parameter, I captured with Ethereal TCP data generated with Iperf . MSS value is always 1460 B and it can´t be changed by - M.
 
A similar situation happens with TCP window size. It looks like Windows sets it in 64 KB and doesn´t allow Iperf to change it using -w. I also checked this capturing data with Ethereal.
 
Has anybody gotten results like this? or I´m doing something wrong?
 
Thanks,
 
Rosanna
