Network card settings in 2000

[mccoffee]

I was reading about network card buffer settings. I was wonder what are the optimal settings for win2k and also default. One other thing how come i can't reach over a meg. Lately my connection droped more then ever. This setting is working for me dont' get me wrong. The thing of it is all of sudden it drops down i don't know if it's lag some setting or what. Take a look let me know if you see something I don't Thanx
P.S. That beta tweak program works good


amk62 450
512mbs of ram
2 way cable
windows 2000

TCP options string = 020405b401030303

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) = 420480
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 3 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 52560
RWIN is 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)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 16819.2 kbps (2102.4 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 6727.68 kbps (840.96 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 114 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = OFF

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

Don't know about the buffer settings but there a couple of changes you can make.

Turn off MTU Discovery and turn on TimeStamps. Also Time To Live (TTL) could be lower. Set it to 64.

Thanx whoever you were right sorry i forgot who looked at the settings it was the time to live it had to been. Thanx again mccoffee
