hey hey its me.my first post please help a guy out k..i was thinking about "tweaking" my dsl(768/128) my normal download speed seems to be around 30-40 k sec..i dont like that.. i did that test you tweak thing and i got this..i think everything else is useless(if not tell me PLEASE) here the MTU thing

MTU = 1362
MTU is not fully optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput.
MSS = 1322
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1322, which is equal to MSS.
MSS is not fully optimized for broadband (although it might work well for slower connections). Consider increasing your MTU value.

now that does not seem to good right? ok when i am using IE or netscape when i click on a link (sometimes) the inter net just seems to lock up an whatnot so i reconnect ok oki wont go on and on i know you wont like that i'll see if anyone wants to help me out then i'll type out more thanks.

please help. Sean

thanks

O.K. I'm not a DSL person myself, but if you start by reading and doing everything here, (http://www.broadbandnuts.com/help.shtml) then we will have you half way home, if not all the way tweaked.

Be sure to make a fresh back up copy of your current registry in the event something would go terribly wrong and keep it somewhere where you can find it. DO THIS BEFORE making any changes to your registry or downloading anything.;)

Your not using a router or proxy server are you?

lso, did you give your NIC an IP address and subnet mask?
"If you are getting stalls when using your PC Before your new ADSL line has been activated, your new internal ADSL card could be attempting to talk to the network (which is not yet configured for you), and while it does this, your PC may freeze. The solution is to remove the drivers for the card and/or the card itself, until the ADSL line is activated by the Telco, then re-install from scratch.

If your PC is freezing regularly, and you are on PPPoE, your computer may be looking around for a DHCP server that does not exist. Check the following: (windows)

Open control panel

Open Network

Look for the first entry in the scroll box marked TCP/IP, that is associated with a hardware ethernet card (ignore dialup, AOL and VPN type bindings).

Select it and press properties

Select IP address from the tab

Is Obtain IP address automatically checked? if so, change that to Define IP address and enter 192.168.1.10, and 255.255.255.0, into IP address and subnet mask fields respectively
This assignment of a harmless local IP address to the TCP/IP settings bound (connected) to your network adaptor, will stop the in-built DHCP services from waking up every 10 minutes to look for a DHCP server so that it can "fill in the blanks". "

Other IPs and subnets you can try are 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Download the CableNut adjuster from my signature, install it and reboot. Once your reboot, load the ccs file for your OS, it's located in the CableNut folder, double click ccs, then PPPoE and load the ccs file for your OS. Click Save and then done. Reboot and retest your speeds. You can use the link located in my signature as well, lots of speed tests in there. Now, if you aren't happy with the speeds you can try these RWINs: This goes in the DefaultRcvWindows:Timestamps=0 /20328, 23232, 26136 29040
Timestamps=1 /87120, 92928, 130680, 139392, 174240, 185856, 217800, 232320, 255552, 261360, 278784, 304920, 325248, 348480, 371712, 418176 and 522720. Reboot after applying each RWIN. If you're running under Windows 2000 then you will have to place those numbers in three different places. DefaultRecieveWindow, GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize, and TcpWindowSize. Good luck, let us know how everything turns out.

Are you using WinPoet to connect? If so, click Start > Run, type Regedit and hit Enter. When Registry Editor opens up, click Edit and select Find. Where it says Find what: type TunnelMode (registry values are case sensitive;type it exactly how I have it) and hit Enter. When it finds TunnelMode, right click it and select Modify. Change the value from 1 to 0. Click Ok and close Registry Editor. Reboot and take the TCP/IP Analyzer test again. If it reports 1454 again, then click Refresh. Your MTU should be 1492 now (if that's what you have it set to in the Registry). Let us know how everything turns out. Good luck.

Note: If you can't connect to the internet after changing the setting to 0, then change it back to 1 and reboot.

If you're using Enternet, then look on the help page link provided above by Blebs. Search for how to change MaxFrameSize for Enternet. Good luck
