attachments limited to 1MB

I've searched around and found some suggestions for this problem but none of them seem to work. Currently I am unable to upload anything larger than 1MB.
I've altered my.ini:
set-variable = max_allowed_packet = 16M
I've altered php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 16M

But to no avail. When I look in my admin panel for vbulletin, in the control panel home I see MySQL Packet Size 1.00MB. Perhaps that is coincidence but it seems like probably not.
Any suggestions are very welcome!
thanks!

Turns out it was a newbie mistake on my part. I had the set-variable line under the wrong header. I had it under mysqladmin instead of under mysqld
