Cablenut settings? Help!

[vein2k4]

Hi, I have a compaq presario 5000. Winme as my OS. And Adelphia Power link service for my cable modem. not sure the dl,upload speed but i saw something that said 2000k/256k bps. But im not too sure , Maybe someone else does. I did some tests with the basic cablenuts setting installed. Heres the results!

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) = 64240
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 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)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2569.6 kbps (321.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1027.84 kbps (128.48 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


I also did a speed test, Here are the results.

1st test=
Test complete. Your connection took 1.65 second(s) to download a 200KB test file.

Your current bandwidth is: 0.993 Mbps (993 kbps, 121 KBps).

2nd Test=
Test complete. Your connection took 2.04 second(s) to download a 200KB test file.

Your current bandwidth is: 0.803 Mbps (803 kbps, 98 KBps).


If someone could respond with the settings that I need for cablenut to Fully tweak my cable that would be great!

thanx

Try the following in cablenut.

InitialLargeBufferCount = 200
InitialMediumBufferCount = 480
InitialSmallBufferCount = 640

MediumBufferSize = 15040
PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 1280
TransmitWorker = 32
FastSendDatagramThreshold = 4096
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1
IgnorePushBitOnReceives = 0
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 128480
MaxFreeTcbs = 8000
MaxHashTableSize = 16384
MaxNormLookupMemory = 5000000
SackOpts = 1
SynAttackProtect = 1

TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30
TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer = 0
TcpWindowSize = 128480

VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THE FOLLOWING

1. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.

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

3. ALWAYS connect your modem via ethernet (NIC) and 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=&threadid=73799)). 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 1.2 (http://beam.to/spybotsd) & Ad Aware 6.0 (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download) to remove any spyware then install and update SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/spywareblaster.html) to stay spyware FREE. YOU MUST USE BOTH AD AWARE & SPYBOT TO ENSURE YOU ARE SPYWARE FREE SINCE ONE FINDS WHAT THE OTHER MISSES.

7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in my Help & Tips link (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73799).

8. If you have Zone Alarm as a firewall uninstall it then visit Zonelabs.com (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp) for further instructions on removing it's left over junk.

9. Install Outpost Firewall (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost) or Sygate Firewall (http://www.sygate.com), both have FREE and Pro versions and are heads above ZA.

10. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one IMMEDIATELY, AVG 6.0 (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php) is an excellent FREE AV app.

11. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates.
