TCP properties for IP =
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b40103030201010402
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 (scale factor of 4)
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)

Try thease in the sg optmizer below me to download and install

select - cable
check - custom settings
network adapter selection -
check modify all adapters
maxmtu -1500
TTL - 64
TCP Receive Window leave blank
MTU Discovery - yes
Black Hole Detect - no
Selective Acks - yes
Max Dup ACKs - 2
TCP 1323 windows scailing is checked

Other Settings tab:

Max Connections per Server - 10
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 20
Lan Browsing Speedup - optimized

Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect.



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). 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 (http://beam.to/spybotsd) & Ad Aware 6.0 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download (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\ (http://www.agnitum.com/) or Sygate Firewall http://www.sygate.com/ (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 (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

I did your reccomendations, now im at 600kbs.

Any other sugestions besides returning to previous settings?

[mccoffee]

where are you speed testing at???


Just Installed a Buffalo Tech WBR2-G54 what is this??

[indagda]

Sorry, I didnt see Edit button. The G54 is my Router. and Im doing the speed tests from 'Speakeasy" (1000kbs down 200kbs up) and I tried a 'Cnet' one as well. I am way slower on both PCs now, after the install of this router.

Ive notice quite a few adjustiable settings in my router, that my last router ( 2Wire HomePortal 100) didnt have.

Thanks

Make sure you have block wan ping or anything simlar disabled also your firmware is up todate on the router.

Your speed are caused by the router the settings keep the settings i gave you

[indagda]

ok turned off the 'ping block'. That made no difference with 'speed test'

There are settings such as:

Address Translation (on)
IPsec path through (off)
IP Address of DMZ (empty)
NAT Table (not set up)
------------
Packet Filter Information

Basic rule Number of Packets:
1)Deny NBT and Microsoft-DS Routing
2)Reject the IDENT Request

Wired WAN Performance Speed: Auto
What are the other options for that


Also do you own any cordless phones ??

[indagda]

10 duplex , 1/2duplex
100 duplex , 1/2 duplex

actually there is a cordless phone 2 inches from the router.

Thanks for all the help.

[mccoffee]

disconnect the cordless and see if speeds pick up

[indagda]

Phone didnt help either. I disconnected router, connected modem directly to PC and am reciving the same speeds (1000kbs on speakeasy and FTP test.) I called RoadRunner, they 'tested' line from the office and said everything was fine. They advertise 3mb/2mb and I have noted speeds well over 2000kbs in the past. I suppose there is nothing more to do. Thanks for all the help.
