here is my other pc!! What tweaks should i use?? Lobo??

[Ripper23]

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) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
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)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 51 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

sorry this is on my WIN ME machine

Those settings look good, what kind of speeds are you getting as compare to your caps? Click on the "My Tips" link in my sig and follow the NIC buffer tweak and proper duplex mode settings, it might help out a bit.:) :D

[Ripper23]

i am getting 1570 down 360 up....i used to get 2000 down 360 up...maybe someon jioned on my street...advertised is 10 mb/s down 2mb/s up....any other way to improve it??

[mnosteele52]

You must have OOL, try raising your RWIN to 513920, 584000 or 642400.:) :D

[Ripper23]

OOL?? I have road runner let me try those settings

[mnosteele52]

Your caps are 10000/2000 with RoadRunner? :D

[Ripper23]

i know i won't get anywhere near perfect speeds but, I am way away from 10 mb/s down 2mb/s up...any more ideas on what to change???

[Lobo]

Did they raise them:

Your caps are 10000/2000 with RoadRunner?


I though they were 2000/384:) :)

[Ripper23]

advertised is 10000down 2000up.....The max I have ever got is 2000down 386up....any other ideas on how to increase my speed i have used all suggestions above including nic buffer and setting nic cards to 10baset half...one question also the belkin 10/100 nic on my xp machine has a tx threshold set at 15?? what is that you can adjust it to anything??? Anything I could do there??

[Lobo]

I believe the CAPS are 2000 down/384 up which you are getting, as for other see Cable Modem Tips in help thread below

[Lobo]

From the Road Runner web site:

Just how fast is Road Runner?

Road Runner offers speeds up to 50 times faster than traditional dial-up connections over its high-speed network. The infrastructure and technology are designed to bring content as close to you as possible through sophisticated caching servers located at the Regional Data Center or cable headend. This technology provides access to a wide variety of multimedia content without the need to go into the heavily trafficked Internet space


The key word is "UP" to, and they are probably refering to 28.8 modem like CONcast
:) :)

[Ripper23]

I read it in pcworld.com magazine where it states all cable dsl companies and there advertised"perfect" speeds were 10000down 2000up, maybe this includes there business class offerings(they offer a 3 tiers of business class) I am still getting about 1500 down 370 up from testing at speakeasy.com that you recommended....so i guess even if cap for home use is 2000 down and three hundred something up...my download should be higher right??

[Lobo]

The max I have ever got is 2000down 386up....
