I want to tweak my 256k ADSL connection (PPPoE). I usually download at 30-32k/s, i used the registry tweak and it doesn't work.
My connection is too slow!! Please help me!

Click on help page below in signature and follow directions exactly, please leave your OS and system specs if you have not done so.Also if you have Cablenuts adjuster installed I need to know that. On 2nd page of help page at bottom are some Tips and how to do speed test. Thank you and good luck.:)

It's just a shortcut to your registry for you to change things if you wish, don't load ccs file, just download his software, then ours:)

Here some things for XP

Tweaks for Windows XP

1.) Turn off System restore and auto updates.
2.) Use SG's System ini tweak set at 7168, type sysedit in run box, Close out of all boxes except System Ini, put it in 386th Enh, thats where it goes
3.) Go to control panel, system, advanced tab at top,performance, settings, click on best performance,then advanced tab at top, background services, then programs.
4.) Disable IDE Port Scanning on empty ports and save bootup time.
Go to System Properties by right-clicking on My Computer or via the Control Panel.
Select the Hardware tab.
Look at the Device Manager section and click on the Device Manager button.
This brings up the Device Manager screen.
Open up the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers device branch. Then you will see a list of all the IDE controllers

and channels in your system.
Now, select any one of the IDE channels, right click and choose Properties. Or just double click on the

IDE channel.
Now, select the Advanced Settings tab to get the screen below. As you can see below,

the second port (Device 1) on the Primary IDE Channel does not any IDE device attached to it.

Thus, the Device Type is labeled as Auto Detection. In contrast, the first port has a device attached. That's why the Device Type is grayed out.
To disable IDE device scanning for the second port, click on Auto Detection and you will see

two choices on the list. Select None.
Click OK and reboot. Windows 2000 will now refrain from scanning that IDE port at start up and

should load a little faster
5.) Use Win 2000- patches for XP
6.) Yes Cablenuts adjuster works with XP
7.) This is neat, Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Appearance and Themes.
Click the Display icon, click the Appearance tab, and then click Effects.
Click the Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box to select it, and select ClearType from the list.
Click OK, and then click OK again,
You have to see this to believe it

Ok, this is what the tcp/ip analyzer says:

MTU = 1492
MTU seems to be optimized for PPPoE... If you are not on a PPPoE connection, consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS = 1452
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1452, which is equal to MSS.
MSS is optimized for PPPoE. If you are not on a PPPoE connection, consider increasing your MTU value.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 255552
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 63888
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
63888 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10222.08 kbps (1277.76 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4088.832 kbps (511.104 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 46 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

I dowloaded cablenuts and implemented optimizations, but there wasn't any change. I installed rasPPPoE, no changes.
What can i do to uncap my connection?

Bring up Cablenuts adjuster inside Cablenut on desktop the numbers below go in 3 places in W2k and XP, they are: DefaultReceiveWindow, TcpWindowSize, GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize, take out number that is in there and put in one of these, 1 at a time, try: 63888 in both OS's




At bottom click save to registry, and REBOOT or it will not work. On help page below in signature, 2nd page, at bottom are Tips and How to do Speed test,
Good luck:) :)
