There are two main command line utilities for displaying and setting
network interface information on Windows. Try the following:

ipconfig /all
netsh dump (You most probably want to redirect this output to a file)

As for the MTU settings, these can be done accessed through the NIC's
"Properties" in the Device Manager on Windows 2000 and later. Starting
with Vista, you can enumerate and set the MTU settings using:

netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection"
mtu=<value> store=persistent

I don't follow. Did you validate this with Wireshark or a similar
utility?
