What happened to Mnosteeles first post in his my tips thread?

[goldeneye_bill]

where'd they go?

[MadDoctor]

We don't know. Hopefully the big guy will return. Perhaps he stepped outside for a smoke and lost his way. Time will tell.

[goldeneye_bill]

Gosh dangit, I needed that section of info. I just reformatted my computer so now I'm stuck back slow again

[mccoffee]

hey bill u got new comp i see what u need help on ?

[goldeneye_bill]

yes I did Well I just formatted it last night, so I'm trying to get it up to speed with my old one. The specs are: Pentium II 333, 64 MB RAM, Nvidia 128 Video Card, 4 MB video Ram, 10 gig hard drive, SB Live ! sound card, and I believe that's all, Oh yeah 3com 10/100 internal NIC

Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows ME) Opera 6.05 [en]
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b4

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 17520
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 17520
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: 700.8 kbps (87.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 280.32 kbps (35.04 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 18 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = OFF

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

I've got insanely high pings before and after I used those settings you suggested, the speed tests I do show that it's supposedly going nicely, but I can tell that same cripsness in how fast the pages show up just isn't there. Does anyone know where I can find that FTP test that was in Mnosteeles post in his my tips thread? that was the test I always used to test my speed. I don't even have the speed burst at the start of surfing. It's very bad.

[earthmofo]

Here's the link to that FTP test

FTP Speed Test

Those settings I gave you are from mnosteele's tip page except for the RWIN Value. It's one that has worked well for me in the past with your OS . What are your service caps?

There really isn't much you can do about the Latency though.

[goldeneye_bill]

I'm with Comcast, 1500 down, 128 up

I never really messed with cablenut settings before, I just ran 10 pings of some sites I would go to and then use the RWIN formula and figure out an RWIN, atleast that's what I used to do when my pings weren't out in the stratosphere. They used to be 40-90 now they are like 600-900. IT"S CRAZY

you can choose from:
ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/ test dir with 64MB
ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test1 1MB
ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test4 4MB
ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test8 8MB
ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test16 16MB
ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64 64MB really downloading test speed
or
ftp://ftp.aol.com/clients/aol80/comp01.000 37.8 Megs

[earthmofo]

Can you post a tracert of one of those sites? If it's in the first 2 or 3 hops then it could be a problem with yor ISP. If it's after that then it's a router problem at another backbone.

Try these RWIN Values. All based on your 1500 cap with different Latency values. Turn WIndows Scaling on for values over 65535

[goldeneye_bill]

I know what a tracert is but I do not know how to do them
When I did the 64 meg FTP test, the speed settled in at about 168KB/s .....just for information sake, I'm on Windows ME

[mccoffee]

hey bill is the p3 a socket 1 or 370 chipset ??

[goldeneye_bill]

It's not a p3, it's a p2 333Mhz. And I honestly don't know the rest of that question.

[mccoffee]

it's a slot 1 then don't worry about it at least u got a new one

[goldeneye_bill]

It always worries me when people say don't worry about something, and I don't know what that something is. When I opened the case before I noticed there was a small black rectangle that said pentium II on it, it wasn't like a chip on the motherboard, it was almost like a card in a slot. Is that the answer to your questions? And how do I do that tracert thing someone was asking about?

[mccoffee]

take one at http://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/tracert.asp
if are in the green ur alright in yellow ur pings are litlle high if another then green or yellow show up call isp and bitch and complain

[goldeneye_bill]

All my "jumps" were green except for #6 and #7, all it did was come up and say *100, no color was shown on those, all the rest were green.

[mccoffee]

that is odd then if i'm not mistaken that means ur alright
