[weatherwizard]

:( Im not enjoying this ( I am getting only 40 kilobytes)

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

TTL value is ok.

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000


Those are my current settings, please can you tell me? what I should change? And what NIC tweak am I hearing about? Where should I get it?

What size CPU do you have and how much RAM:)

[weatherwizard]

Celeron 600 Mhz ( updating to Athlon 1.3 Ghz )
256 Ram
20 GB

Click on help thread 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. There are some Tips and how to do speed test on help thread. Thank you and good luck. Please do this AFTER you install patches:

Please click in my signature where it says Test tweak here, then:
At top where it says edit click and select, Select all,
Then go back to same edit button at top, click and select copy.
Come back to Speedguide, same thread you were on, in post reply box, with cursor blinking at begining of box go to top, edit, click, select paste, click, this will put information in box. Please X out your IP address, Thank you.

If your not from US do not use this test site, use one at bottom

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: 51100, 513930, 522680, 524176


You do not have to show me but check analyzer here at SG to make sure RWIN is in, you will see number right after (RWIN) on analyzer

At bottom click save to registry, and REBOOT each time you change value in adjuster or it will not work. Click on tools at top of IE, internet options, delete files and offline files (This is safe, temp files) and click on clear history after EVERY test . Quick speed test : choose location closest to you: http://www.speakeasy.net/main.php?page=sup_pops
Speedtest may open another browser, so check taskbar and close other, no other programs should be running, No AIM, ICQ, Virus scanner, Firewall, nothing
1.) Make sure defrag has been run, defragmented files slow you down.
2. At top of IE, click on Tools, internet options, click on delete files and click on offline files (It's safe), click on clear history, yes
3.) Go to Start button, programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup, Click OK (Safe)
4.) Run scandisk (Short version)
5.) Scandisk on XP?
Click on My Computer, select Drive that XP is on, RIGHT click on BLANK place, select properties, then tools at top tab, click check now, check box automattically fix system errors, click start.


Once you find fast number for you, you want to save it, on file at top of adjuster click on that, save custom settings, put RWIN size in as name and click on save, now if you ever want these settins back, click on file, open custom settings file, and click on RWIN number, then click on save to registry at bottom, and REBOOT, your done. How to do real dowwnload test on help thread below in signature. This is all I recommend, if anyone else jumps in with something else, good luck, but it did not come from me
Blank boxes in adjuster just mean default values are being used.


Also add NIC Buffer setting's in adjuster: These setting's are for people with Speedguide's speed patch installed.

InitialLargerBufferCount- 48
InitialMediumBufferCount- 96
InitalSmallBufferCount-150
LargerBufferSize-40960
MaxFastTransmit-2
MediumBufferSize- 1805
PriorityBoost-0
SmallBufferCount- 430




SAVE SETTING's so we do not have to do this again, directions above, good luck.

If you are not from USA go to www.testmyspeed.com and select test site close to you

[weatherwizard]

I dont know what to do, these speeds arent helping...I tried uploading and downloading things with my friends over our server, and the speeds were disgusting...only 6 k!

Warez copy of XP or not?

[weatherwizard]

When u say warez, do you mean is it a valid copy? If so it is... Just got it Winxp Professional.
If not please explain

[Lobo]

Take tweak test at http://www.dslreports.com/tools , turn off firewall, Are you from US, do you have Cablenuts adjuster installed:)

[weatherwizard]

ONLY 850 kilobits!
I swear, what should I do?
and I lice in Canada, Toronto to be exact.

Your Tweakable Settings:
Receive Window (RWIN): 522680
Window Scaling: 3
Path MTU Discovery: ON
RFC1323 Window Scaling: ON
RFC1323 Time Stamping: OFF
Selective Acks: ON
MSS requested: 1460
TTL: 62
(less any hops behind firewall)
TTL remaining: 47


Choose RWIN between 48180 and 125560 (FAQ #586)
download DRTCP v0.19 .. (FAQ #578)
Read the tweak FAQ


Example 146000 byte download
Actual data bytes sent: 157680
Actual data packets: 108
Max packet sent (MTU): 1500
Max packet recd (MTU): 1500
Retransmitted data packets: 8
sacks you sent: 34
pushed data pkts: 1
data transmit time: 0.674 secs
our max idletime: 236.8 ms
transfer rate: 106255 bytes/sec
transfer rate: 850 kbits/sec
This is not a speed test!
transfer efficiency: 92%


A few re-transmissions seen (FAQ #705)


ICMP (ping) check
Minimum ping: 48 ms
Maximum ping: 49 ms
Ping stability:
48 48 48 48 48 48 49 48 48 49

Looking good

[weatherwizard]

Yes I do have Cable adjuster installed

[Lobo]

Your test looks fine, but how did you buy copy of XP before it is do to be released in stores the 25th of this month, plus they are probably still working on lines to support XP or call ISP:)

[weatherwizard]

well rogers supports windows XP. and how I got it, well it was for sale, so I bought it.
