run the test at the tiop of the page under cable modems and post ur results

[austin00369]

What sub title is it under in cable modems?

[earthmofo]

It's called SG TCP/IP Analyzer. Copy amd paste the results here but please X out your IP address.

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer
TCP properties for IP = ()
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 95; DigExt; EROLS040199)

TCP options string = 020405b4

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) = 60352
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 60352
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2414.08 kbps (301.76 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 965.632 kbps (120.704 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 52 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = OFF

Follow the steps below.

If your OS is Win 95 or 98 download and install the vtcp.386 fix available here:
http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_mod...e_patches.shtml near the bottom of the page. Follow the install instructions.

Download and install CableNut Adjuster available here:
http://broadbandnuts.com/software.shtml it's at the bottom of the page. If you have CableNut already installed skip to the next part.

Then download and install Speed Guide patch for your OS (if running XP download the Win 2K patch) available here http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_mod...e_patches.shtml again follow install instructions. Reboot so changes take affect.

Take the SG Analyzer test again to see if changes were made then do this speed test and post results here.

Mm that still doesn;t seem right.

[earthmofo]

Did you install CableNut first then the SG patch? Also, what OS are you running?

[austin00369]

yes, wins 95 on this computer.

[austin00369]

you stil there?

[earthmofo]

Open up the Cablenut Adjuster and choose your OS if it asks you to. If not click on the Options Tab then Choose Operating System and select Windows 95.

I need to know chat fields have values. You won't be able to copy and paste within the program so you have to type them in here along with the values. The fields that are blank are set to default so I don't need to know those, just the ones with entries.

Once I have the values I can tell you which ones to change.

[austin00369]

EnableDNS=0
And
Lanabase=0

Thats it.

[austin00369]

Try installing the SG patch again. Unzip it in the folder you downloaded it to then double click on the .inf file to have the settings saved to the registry. Reboot your computer then take the Analyzer test again and post the results.
