Slow cable issue????

[Smitz33]

Just wanted to hit 100 http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/smile.gif

[BooBear66]

I believe the tweak worked for me but since cable usuage varies during the day and is at it's heaviest before early morning it's not going to be the same every single time..how could it? I'm still basically getting the same results since the tweak close to 1 mpbs or 2 mpbs. Some have contacted me and say this is all nonsense so I dunno do you guys think it's rubbish? I sure don't

[BooBear66]

I did the central computing thing after doubling recieve window and it might just be coincedence but did get this:

Your line speed:
2550 Kbps
312.5 K bytes/sec

[halestorm]

Considering that the reputable people at http://navasgrp.home.att.net/tech/cable_dsl.htm#SysiniTweak are pointing to this thread and SpeedGuide's use of this tip and disputing the logic behind this "tip," perhaps they should take down the system.ini page here on SpeedGuide.

Most people in this 3-page thread seem to have gotten little or no change with the tweak.

Too bad. I could've used a magic pill to help get my 6000' from C.O. DSL 1.5 meg connection higher than 125Kb/sec.

What if IRQ is single digit?

Irq03=4096

or

Irq3=4096

[Adrenaline]

I just got this cable modem hooked up a couple of days ago. It is slower than hell. I am only getting 7kb out of it on those two sites that Brent had posted. What is going on?

[Recordlord]

Just wanted to add to it!!

[wee96]

I heard Windows bypasses this and this tweak does absolutely nothing but take up a couple bytes of your system.ini file, heh.

[DIDS]

Will this tweak work if you have more than just the NIC on it. I have 3 things listed on the same IRQ.

1. 3Com EtherLink XL TPO 10Mb Ethernet NIC

2. Creative SB Live! Value

3. IRQ Holder for PCI Steering

They are all listed as 03. Will this allocate 8MB of RAM to each or divide it equally. If it will divide it equally. Should I change the tweak to "Irq3=12288"? Any help would be apprciated.

BTW I am using a DELL XPSB 667r MHZ P3 with W98SE and 128MB RDRAM@356MHZ

Thanks man! unbelievable results, no need to breaking any uncaping laws.. you rule brutha!!

[HarrisA7]

As a computer expert in hosting and cable modems, there is no such system ini setting.
Microsoft stated that windows will simply not reconize the command.

I did extensive testing with the command and did a windows start up logged.. in the text file made by windows, it says "FAILED: unsuccessful load of system.ini entry under (enh386) IRQ10=4084,unknown command."

You people will need to just tweak the ttl, and TCP RCV window and MaxMTU.

Hope this helps.

Andrew:

You need to work on the cable modem expertise.

It's not 'ICQ10=xxxx' it's IRQ (with an 'R').

Back from the grave, wooooooo!

[Recordlord]

I noticed in the magazine article I didn't get recognized!! Oh, well I get no respect at home either and I even live alone!!!

[Brent]

This thing keeps being brought up from the dead, it's dated back to January of this year!

Oh and it's IRQ not ICQ dude http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/smile.gif

[Prey521]

I just thought that I would bring this one ALLLLLLLL the way back up. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Do some real testing. Clear the cache! I made that same mistake.

If you like that try the windows key with the following

d- desktop
e- explorer
m- minimizes all open windows
f- find
r- run command box

I'm gonna try this tweak on two systems, one being a P3 @ 560 with 256MB ram and the other being a P200 with 48MB ram.....

[HarrisA7]

As in my last posting on page 1, i did mean IRQ so i edited to message.

And my message is true.

Thanks!

hmm. This aint new, this is under the section at this link from this very site.

there

[cplclegg]

Since this has been brought back to life I have never been able to get this to work. One thing I am probably doing wrong is setting the IRQ to one digit, mine happens to be 5. Does it need to be 05 for it to even possibly work? The example in the tweaks section is not very good as it uses a two digit number. Any way to change this if a zero must be placed before hand because the way it is now is a little confusing.

RECORD LORD OPUTSTANDING JOB MAN I WENT FROM 386 TO 512 ON THE DOWNLOADS I OWE YOU A BEER MAN GREAT JOB

[glide]

I was browsing around looking for patches to my ethernet card, Actually found one, Installed it and my speed stayed the same.
I dont remember how i even found this page.
But that tweek for the ethernet card boosted
my average download speed from 60kb sec to
avrageing 90kb sec.Ive had a constand d/l speed from that happypuppy sight (another member posted up for quake 3) at 103kb sec absolutely amazing difference. I allocated
8192 to my card and my sys has 192mb ram. MY
HAT IS OFF TO YOU RECORDLORD.
Later....

Since it took you "6 weeks until I resolved the issue"... how did you figure this out and what does this line do exactly.

What does the number 4096 do???


___________________________________________
4096 stands 4 the amount of ram u would like to dedicate to the nic card

[Jonnywop]

What is an IRQ?
hehe
thanks.

[andrewe77]

"What is an IRQ?"

I'm sure the people that say their download speeds jumped by 1,000 MB/s are saying the same thing as above.

I think this system.ini IRQ tweak is a myth and all of you people won't let it die.

An IRQ is a Port or Communications Channel between a piece of Hardware and the CPU. Each hardware gets a turn talking to the CPU, to take this turn they have to be assigned an IRQ (Interrupt Request) so they may talk to the CPU, basically Interrupt something else to send data back and forth to the CPU.

Think of it like this, a Huge group of people (the hardware) trying to all talk to ONE person (the cpu) at once. Now if they do this noone can be heard. So what they need is one channel or one room they can go into and speak with the person (cpu). Hence the IRQ

That is a big debate actually, weather this IRQ trick really is a myth or not, IMO I can see logically how this would benefit things... but in practice, who knows?

back from the dead...
So anyway 2 people asked the same question and wasnt answered. I too want to know about the syntax for single digit IRQ's. Example ( Irq03=4096 ) or ( Irq3=4096 )?

-Thanks

recordlord thank you,,,,after months of fighting with cable company it now works like i thought it should ,,,,thanks again

[timberghost]

[stophboy7]

hey, does anyone know if this works with a modem?

[tekelberry]

Bahahahahahaha! This topic is so old. They have it listed in this site. I suggest you close the thread.

[donald_k]

this topic is almost (by a few days) a year old...... anyways now I am on Win2000 from Win98SE and I don't know if this will work..oh well it can't hurt anything.

[nexialist]

Aw man, this did nothing for me. Maybe I will try removing the @home tweak by resetting to Windows default. If it works, I will post results.

I am one of those poor sour Cox@home customers.
