changing the Time To Live (TTL) in windows
Hi Is it possible to change the TTL of an incoming packet in windows? I have installed virtualbox 4.0.2 on windows 7 and the guest os is ubuntu. Due to some reasons, the ISP limit the TTL to 1 (if you want to know the reason, have a look at http://www.kamburov.net/aleksandar/articles/attlfilter.html). This causes problems with the guest os as the packet cannot be forwarded from host to guest. If the host os is linux, then I can change the TTL (it has been discussed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Networking). Any body has a solution to that? thanks

Hi, Try to modify the registry value DefaultTTL using the following steps: 1. Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe). 2. Navigate to the following registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters. 3. In the right pane, add the following value: Name: DefaultTTL Type: REG_DWORD Valid Range: 1-255 4. After that, please restart the computer and check the result.
