Unless you have a reason to change something, always leave it at the
default.

Lots. Some were even able to recover and get their systems working
again.

There are very few situations where changing the MTU makes sense in a
public server.

No prob. The only time I see messing with this is when you have a MTU issue
on a PPPoE device (such as ADSL routers), and you would alter it on that
machine. Otherwise, leave the defaults on a Windows machine so you can sleep
better.
