Are my settings ok? and help with a small router problem?

[kempy]

Hi, hope you can help, first heres a copy of my thing:

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 = 38 hops

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

Ive got xp pro, opera 7.23 as my browser, i have a d-link router 604. have just put the router on with 3 to 4 other computers in the house, we have 1meg broadband service in the UK with NTL through a modem.

I am having a few small problems with speed on the internet now the router is on. thats not to say cus of the other computers, i some times have to double click on a link for it to work, or re click(refresh) as it seems to stop. also i get a few newwork problem error messages from my browser. e.g i cant get onto the forum site for tweeks as it says network problem? any advice? ive just checked again, and this time it worked, but i had to doubble click a few times.

Thanks for your time, :)

If you don't have manual ips setup i suggest you do that now this guide will show you how to do it. http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=177

Also try updatiting the firmware on the router i have to find the dlink europe site read below i got this infromation about the firmware you have know ur revision number or you'll end up with wrong firmware. yours should be a version e according to dlink the european version is e.

If you have anyquestion post reply.

DI-604 Revision Identification


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are multiple revisions of the DI-604.
Each revision has version specific firmware, installation guides, and functions.

Firmware is not interchangeable.

Please use the descriptions and diagrams below to identify your particular version of the DI-604. The revision is located on the label on the bottom of the device next to H/W:.

Click on the image that matches your version.

Note: If you have revision D, then you have an European version of this router which D-Link USA does not support.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DI-604 Revision A, B, and C
The DI-604 Rev. A, B, and C has an ARM7 Processor.
Click on image below to be directed to the resource page.

Rev. A, B, or C

. 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). 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 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 Read1st link.

8. If you have Zone Alarm as a firewall uninstall it then visit Zonelabs.com 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.
