a little help tweaking please?

[duanewayne]

ok here is all the info i could possibly configure. i'm using a compaq 7478 with an amd-k6-2 processor at 533mhz with 128 mb memory and a 30 gb harddrive. i'm using TW roadrunner cable connection but my downloads are not very fast. after 10 speed tests these were my averages:12,635 bitsp/s, 1,398bp/s.
can anybody help me with my settings to optimize my internet connection and download times?here are my all my test results in detail. thank you.

Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt; YComp 5.0.2.6)
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 49640
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 49640
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1985.6 kbps (248.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 794.24 kbps (99.28 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 34 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

here are my cablenut settings(i had alot of empty boxes, is this normal?):
bcastnamequerycount=empty
bcasttimeout=empty
bsdurgent=1
cachetimeout=empty
defaultrcv=49640
defaultttl=48
enabledns=empty
globalmaxtcp=empty
keepaliveinterval=empty
keepalivetime=empty
lanabase=empty
localcopymade=empty
maxconnect=empty
maxconnectretry=empty
maxdataretries=empty
nametablesize=empty
namesrvquery=empty
pmtublackhole=0
pmtudisc=1
routingbufsize=empty
routingpack=empty
sackopts-empty

tcp13230pts=0
tcptimedwaitdelay=empty
maxdupacks=3
defaulttos=empty
igmplevel=empty
maxconnectper1=4
maxconnectperser=4

again anyone's help on optimizing these settings would be very appreciated.
thanks.

OK, use the following settings in CableNut;

BcastNameQueryCount - 1
BcastQueryTimeout - 100
BSDUrgent - 1
CacheTimeout - 600000
DefaultRecvWindow - 64240
DefaultTTL - 64
EnableDNS - 0
GlobalMaxTcpWindoSize - 64240
KeepAliveInterval - 500
KeepAliveTime - 14400000
Lanabase - 0
LocalCopyMade - 1
MaxConnections - 64
MaxConnectRetries - 5
MaxDataRetries - 64
NameTableSize - 255
NameSrvQueryTimeout - 100
PMTUBlackHoleDetect - 0
PMTUDiscovery - 1
RoutingBufSize - 146432
RoutingPackets - 100
SackOpts - 1
SessionKeepAlive - 7200
SessionTableSize - 255
Size/Small/Medium/Large - 3
Tcp1323Opts - 0
TcpTimedWaitDelay - 30
MaxDupAcks - 2
DefaultTOS - 92
IGMPLevel - 2
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server - 20
MaxConnectionsPerServer - 10

VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THE FOLLOWING

1. Under your Configuration tab for your Network settings make sure you have only the needed protocols.

2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.

3. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it is ISP dependent unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL (the instructions are in my Help & Tips link (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?s=&postid=643301#post643301)). If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

4. Clear your temporary internet files.

5. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 15 seconds.

6. Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot (http://beam.to/spybotsd), anything checked in red is spyware and safe to remove.

7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in my Help & Tips link (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?s=&postid=643301#post643301).

:D ;) :cool:
