Here's what the link offers me:
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 = 116 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

Looks impressive to me, though I could play with the RWIN setting.

Here's my specs (all with latest drivers including the motherboard chipset):
PIII 850
256MB RAM
SBLive!
GeForce 2 GTS
3Com 3C905-TX (in all 3 comps including firewall)
Sprint BroadBand DSL (now tweaked from info received from this site)
Liknsys Hub 10/100
Using ICS to get to internet
Firewall: Black Ice. No ports open.

After tweaking, I went from (for example) 13X faster than a 56K to 43X faster. There was 5 differnt tests I ran. All gave much better results. Even my Rwin Limits went from 143K to the 8222K you see above.

The only thing I am really having a problem with is a game series called Rainbow 6 (I own all the additions and variations on this game). I hadn't played in a while, but Ghost Recon just came out in a demo and that's what is starting me on this crusade. All other games play fine (Quake3, HL and different mods, Diablo 2, etc) but this one really lags. Sure it could be the coding, but there are plenty of other folks that play the game fine. So why would I have such issues as I am having with it.

Sorry for rambling, but I wanted to give a perspective to you on what I am after.

Thanks

Your system doesnt matter here.

It seems that the lag is part of the game, and tweaking wont fix it. Maybe try another server.
