    Hi Somal,

    We are sorry for the inconvenience. It seems you are not typing correct command, We would request you not to copy it but rather type the command manually. Try this and let us know if it works!

    Hello! The last command does not work for me. I am using a WiFi connection. I get this error:

    “The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.”

    Your help would be appreciated!

    Hi! When lowering the MTU value, as of 1472 or lower I get a “request timed out” response, but at 1473 I still get the “fragmented” response. Any tips? Thanks!
