What is an MTU and why is it important?

Xbox live. Insufficient mtu setting?

• Ok when i try and connect my xbox360 to the internet it says I am connected to the network> i am connected to the Internet > but cant connect to xboxlive since my router has insufficient mtu setting. Now ive gone onto My setting and changed the mtu setting to what is required, but the same message comes up!! Xbox helplines are a load of crap, They don't fix the problem at all! They told me to contact my internet service provider... i did, they told me to contact my router manufacturer... i did, they told me to contact xbox... i did, they told me the same thing again. I have a belkin Wireless router, My xbox is connected via ethernet cable. I tried with the official xbox wireless thing... and still didn't work. Just wasted 2 months of gold membership as i was unable to connect, so now its expired!
