Is this a fast connection Lobo or other experts pls

[lundrog]

I have a P III 1 gig with 512 mb of ram a cable modem connected via networking card, i installed the patchs from the speedguide site.
these are my settings.

TCP options string = 020405b40103030301010402

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) = 292000
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 3 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 36500
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: 11680 kbps (1460 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4672 kbps (584 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 54 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

i got maybe 200 kb on downloads if i am lucky.

help!

Do you have Cablenuts adjuster installed

[Lobo]

Anyway try RWIN's of 64240, 531440, 544800, 560640



How do do speed test
1. The best time is early in the morning (3 AM - 6 AM)
2. Make sure defrag has been run so no files are fragmented
3. Delete Temp internet files, not while testing, but after each test. IE browser, click tools, internet options, click on delete files and no this will not harm system, just get rid of temp files
4. Go to a fast server such as www.happypuppy.com and click on 10 demos, select a LARGE file to download (not all of it , just most of it, before you click cancel) this will show you how fast you are downloading, it's not going to be quick except except early in morning when not many people on net. I recommend you go to www.analogX.com and download Net State live, run this while downloading as it will give you avg of your download speed, really all you need on Net Stat is incoming data, incoming totals and Local machine, right click on Net Stat anywhere, stactics and check these 3 items, the rest need not be checked unless you want them, all you care about is average. Another fast download site is ftp.lucasarts.com
Put system defrag in scheduled tasks to run everyday.
5. Probably the most important, nothing can be running during test, no firewalls, no virus stuff, no ICQ, no AIM (some of you may have to go into BIOS to disable virus scanner, nothing running except Net Stat live
Scheduled tasks will run disk defrag, 98 & SE in Taskbar, WIN ME in control panel
The people who want speed surfing or doing whatever must close all other programs.
(NOTE: at present time www.AOL.com seems to be fastest download site, at bottom download aol 6.0)
Or if you wish you may go to www.testmyspeed.com and do one of the online tests, these vary to much for me but you may like them.

I just downloaed the cable nut program, and i just installed it.

I opened the fast_cablew2k.ccs, do i want to change any settings other than rwin?

[Lobo]

One patch or other, Cablenuts is set up for small RWIN right?

[Lobo]

If you want higher RWIN's, do this, at bottom of adjuster click on delete Cablenut tweaks, save to registry and REBOOT, then download and install Speedguides patches

[lundrog]

yes 16384, and where do i put the rwin settings?

[Lobo]

What is 16384

[lundrog]

that is what the defualtrecievewindow was and the defaultsendwindow, and the tcpwindowsize was.

I tyred changing them to the values that you said, it helped on the test sites but when downloading a real file still drops low into the 50 kb area

[Lobo]

Since you do not want our patch uninstall Cablenut and you will be back at default

[lundrog]

i never said i didn't want your patch, I'll do whatever to get my connection working like it should.

Just tell me what to do

[lundrog]

oh and when i download something it starts at like 500 kb a sec, and go's all the way down, why is that?

[Lobo]

From above, again

ok well before when installed the same tweaks and downloaded most files i would start at 1.25mb and slow to 500 kb and hold....


Do you think it is load on my cable service provider?

[lundrog]

And say, in the registry, if you go into the interface of your network card. is there spost to be a dword value mtu and tcpwindow size in there also?

And is there anything else a person can do other than rediting there registry to increase your speed. Ie better network cards, wireing.

[Lobo]

No, all downloads start fast as soon as you click save the first time puter starts to download, take analyzer and post results
