SBS 2003 MTU setting preventing XBoxLive login

Tags: mtu, setting, actiontec, sbs, 2003
I am trying to connect an XBox360 through an SBS2003/ISA2004 setup.  If I connect the XBox360 to a 100mbps hub that is connected to the ActionTec MI424WR Router, it works great.  There is not problem.

However, if I route the XBox360 through the unmanaged switch connected to the LAN NIC and the XBoxLive login is routed through unmanaged switch->LAN NIC -- ISA 2004 -- -> WAN NIC --> Router, I get an MTU test failure.

After researching, I find that the default MTU is 576 on a default installation of SBS2003 (which is too low for the XBox360).  I found that the parameter EnablePMTUDiscovery=1 is supposed to discover/use a more correct MTU.  I set the parameter to this value and then rebooted the system and got the same failure on MTU.

Question: How do I determine the MTU being used by the NICS on the SBS2003 server
Question: How do I set/manage the MTU (I want to set it permanently to 1492 or 1500) on each NIC?

Any other information I need to know to solve this problem>
