can you tweak your NIC properties?

[non-VTEC]

when i go into the contol panel and double ckick on network i have:

Client for Microsoft Networks
Intel 21041 based Ethernet Controller
TCP/IP

if i double click on the Intel controler and go to Advanced there is a bunch of settings/options i can change. is there any advantage in chaging any of the values? what could/should i change them to?

i'm using a cable modem running on win98se, 512megs SDRAM, P3 600Mhz

here is a pic of the settings i'm talking about:

and this is what i got on the analyzer:

TCP options string = 020405b40103030301010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 513920
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 3 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 20556.8 kbps (2569.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 8222.72 kbps (1027.84 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 48 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

can i improve it?

With out knowing your CPU size and how much RAM you have can't tell if RWIN is right or not:)

i did mention it in the first post.........anyway it's a Intel Pentium 3 600mhz and 512megs PC133 SDRAM

Sorry I missed it on first post, try 64240, 522680, 524176
