There's a requirement that you be able to support 68 byte packets
(iirc).
But his problem is almost certainly that some form of MTU discovery is
in
use and it's thwarting his testing. It should be possible to overcome
that
either by disabling it (which probably does mean hacking the registry,
using a VM might make this less risky) or by refusing to respond to
whatever style of packets the source uses to probe (or even faking
a "godd" response).
