Take a tcpip analyzer below me let's see some settings also are you behind a router?? or using ics I'm trying to rule out promblems that's all ;)

[lupeski]

alright....i am behind a router, which i always was b4, cuz i had my xbox and my computer networked....heres the results i got from the tcpip analyzer


MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240

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)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 51 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000


......is that all u need?

As for system performance 98 is faster by far.

I never get BSOD's in 98. Maybe you didn't know how to use 98 :D

I never get BSOD's in 98. Maybe you didn't know how to use 98 :D I don't think BSODs exist in XP... or maybe you meant it the other way around.

Windows 98 was the shat back then... but then it became a BUG to me... :D
