  1. Open the Microsoft Windows virtual machine.

  2. Open the control panel and then locate and open the Device Manager window.

  3. Expand Network adapters and select the appropriate Oracle VM Virtual Ethernet Adpater.

  4. Right-click the adapter, select Properties, and then select the Advanced tab.

  5. Select the MTU property and set the value as appropriate. Click OK to save your changes.
