Download TCP Optimizer from my sig, select connection type at top, Optimal settings at bottom, apply changes and REBOOT

will it make my upload speed better then 12.3k/s and download speed better then 200k/s ?

Have to see, we can work on it, do you have other speed patches installed

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 12:55 pm

at the top in the connection select ("dailup, cable etc')
the "pppoe" its the same as PPTP?

PPPoE you have to log on to the internet with username and password. (Not log on to Windows)
PPPoE ( Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet ) is a method for building PPP sessions and encapsulating packets, as described in RFC2516. Although it is not a standard, PPPoE is already being used by a number of DSL providers. It requires either routers that have built-in PPPoE support, or PPPoE software to "dial up" and establish the session. You have to log on with name and password everytime you access net with PPPoE.

yeah
it's what i got
point to point protocol

You are sure you are PPPoE, big difference between PPPoE and reg DSL

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:10 pm

mnosteele52, how can this man find out if he is on PPPoE or not,
I can't keep up with all the OS's with this blazing speed

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:11 pm

i need to type username and passwd each time i want to connect
and you said that pppoe is dsl that need to verity username and password

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:15 pm

Well click on DSL (PPPoE) at top, then optimal settings at bottom, apply changes at very bottom and REBOOT

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 http://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 http://www.analogx.com/contents/downloa ... rk/nsl.htm 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.
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.

Or if you wish you may go to http://www.testmyspeed.com and do one of the online tests, these vary to much for me but you may like them.

You need to choose speed test site nearest you from here

well
i tryied to download a file from a very very fast website in israel

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:35 pm

At bottom of Optimizer select custom settings and try Tcp Recieve Window of 31944 or 63888, REBOOT after applying changes (click)

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:48 pm

still can't see a diff in download speed
any ideas?

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:49 pm

You may not be PPPoE, call ISP and find out

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:52 pm

will i see a big diff when i will succed to optimize this connection?
from 13k to something faster

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:55 pm

Keep your head down first, call ISP and find out if you are on PPPoE first, Please

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 1:57 pm

yes
i am
they said "you're using pppoe, point to point protocol
something like that

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:01 pm

That was mighty fast phone call, click DSL at top of Optimizer, optimal settings at bottom, apply changes and REBOOT and see if that is better

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:06 pm

yup was very fast because im doing "refresh" to this page every 20secons

and i tryied both now
dsl and dsl(pppoe)
none of them taking effect

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:08 pm

I don't understand, take a speed test and see if that is better, if it is better you are not on PPPoE

MTU, if 1492=PPPoE
if 1500=reg DSL

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:42 pm

1400 !

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:45 pm

We need DSL help, anyone

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:47 pm

i think so too

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 2:51 pm

OK, on top of Optimizer click on DSL (PPPoE) then check here and do whats it says, then take Analizer test and see what MTU is, check right here

e-r-a-n · Post by **e-r-a-n** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 3:04 pm

i guess i am pppoe
because before i optimized with this program it was set to 1492

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Thu Jan 24, 2002 3:09 pm

Try talking to Bob by clicking on PPPoE Problems in my sig

OK 1492 is a perfect MTU for PPPoE. I saw at the start you mentioned PPtP, which is different but I don't know of any providers using Point to Point Tunneling Protocol, but it could happen.
1400 is not optiomal, but I didn't seen mention of an OS or a PPPoE software application. What do you use to connect, what is the same of the program you put your userid and password into and what OS?
