:(
I'm trying to find the RWIN setting so I can change it to a larger value.
I've searched Regedit but can't seem to find any setting for my Cable Modem(SurfBoard 4100USB)
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Win98
================
TCP/Ip Analyzer Results:
MTU = 1500
MSS = 1460
Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 8760
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 8760
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:
350.4 kbps (43.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to:
140.16 kbps (17.52 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize
TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 113 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Change it with this tool, it's not there by deafault:



Download SG Optimizer to your desktop, select connection type at top, select optimal settings at bottom, Select adapter you are using, click on apply changes at very bottom,and REBOOT .
If you wish to enter custom TCP recieve window select custom settings at bottom, enter what you wish, click on apply changes at bottom and REBOOT.
If using Cablenuts adjuster too, you must first bring up adjuster, click on delete Cablenut Tweaks at bottom and reboot, then download and install optimizer.


Optimizer in my signature

Do your speed tests here after you turn off all running programs http://www.speakeasy.net/main.php?page=sup_pops , select site nearest to you, turn everything off thats running, Check Taskbar, 1 browser, clear cache, If you are from over seas select from here: http://www.testmyspeed.com/internationalspeedtests.htm

THIS MAY OPEN ANOTHER BROWSER, CLOSE IT PLEASE


Even though it is not the nearest the Dallas test is pretty quick


BEFORE SPEEDTEST

1. 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
2.) Go to Start button, programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup, Click OK (Safe)
3.) Run scandisk (Short version)
4.) 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,
then test. Turn all running programs off. Reboot computer so you have all your RAM

You want to go faster, nuke the USB and get a NIC:)

Ok, I did the above suggestion with Optimizer.
Run speed test says 54% faster than 56K.
My system is CPQ Presario7000US
(1.2Mhz, 256Mb,80G hard drive)
has a NIC but I was told by Powerlink that running Cable Modem thru USB would be faster...
huuummm, But, What do they know!
ok I will try switching to to the NIC and will post back tonight.

ALso running WIN98
Thanks;)
