Bug? Win98SE & TCP Optimizer 2.0.2 & Speed Slider

[Chumly]

On my Win98SE desktop the Connection Speed slider always reverts back to 3000 Kbps under the following circumstances:

1) Set Connection Speed slider to 5000 Kbps
2) Use the Optimal Settings button to change parameters
3) Follow with the usual OK’s and reboot

I have a WinXP laptop on the same network using TCP Optimizer 2.0.2 and when I make the exact same changes it stays at 5000 Kbps. Is there a known bug with TCP Optimizer 2.0.2 & Win98SE, or is there some default setting in Win98SE that keeps forcing the Connection Speed slider back to 3000 Kbps upon reboot?

First post hello :)

Hi mccoffee,

Alas it does not help. My Win98SE Connection Speed slider still reverts back to 3000 Kbps under the following circumstances:

1) Set Connection Speed slider to 5000 Kbps
2) Use the Optimal Settings button to change parameters
3) Follow with the usual OK’s and reboot

I tried it three times and re-loaded the patch twice :(

take an analyzer see if the settings shown is still the same as 3000 if it shows two values private message philip he might help you more.

Great idea, my Win98SE machine does however run much faster now that I enabled TCP Optimizer 2.0.2 (even though the Connection Speed slider is “stuck”) plus I am soon going to upgrade (downgrade?) to XP so I figure I’ll let speedy dogs lie, due to the law of diminishing returns or some such drivel :)
