Thanks for the input, appreciate it.

I need to do some repartitioning on my HD, with Win2K Pro as my OS.

This is how I have it partitioned now:

C - 2.01 GB NFTS (1.79 GB used, 210 MB free)

E - 13.3 GB FAT32 (1,72 GB used, 11.5 GB free)

F - 13.3 GB FAT32 (7.07 GB used, 6.22 GB free)

The problem I'm running into is that I need more ...

steve

What reliable codecs can I use to view AVI's, DIVX, etc, with Windows 2000 Pro & using Media Player 6.4? Any help appreciated, don't want to hose media player by using the wrong thing.

Thanks for any help or links that are good.

steve

good links, but I still didn't find the answer!

steve

Anyone know how to clean up stuff in the start tray in Win2K, similar to what msconfig did in Win98?

Best way to defrag? I made my C drive NFTS but kept my other partitions at FAT 32. Thanks for any help.

steve

disregard guys. I just went ahead and installed Win2k Professional, which I should have done a long time ago anyway.

Appreciate it though. It was bizarre, it was the original Win98 key, I even tried finding it in the registry.

Learned a lesson though.

steve

scarmel@home.com, thanks.

steve

trying to reinstall win98se upgrade here, and it won't accept my product key for win98. I just reinstalled win98 just fine with that key, this is so bizarre. Is there anywhere in the registry I can look to find the key number? This pisses me off!

steve

Just reinstalling Win98, and when trying to install my 98 SE upgrade disk, it won't accept the product key for the Win98 install.

What do i do?

steve

Thanks again for the help, I'll keep checking back for more updates. I slacked off for a while!

steve

it started d/l at around 190K, then dropped slowly to 105 to 110K. Didn't maintain a steady speed.

Restarting my main box (thank god for home networks). Applied web speed patch and raised RWIN to your suggested value. Will post results shortly. Thanks for all your help, Lobo!

steve

Figure you mean the web speed patch from speedguide, there was no link! Will try the adjusted RWIN too. Report back shortly. Thanks!

Running a 650 Mhz Coppermine, with 256K SDRAM, and 30 gig hard drive. Running @Homeless cable modem. Using Win98SE till XP comes out.

rebooting box now, will post settings in just a minute after applying cnut 4. I like my new abbrev. for that, lol!

steve

It's a remnant of cablenut 3.5 or 3.65, I can't remember. I saw that it isn't a multiple. Thanks Lobo, anyone else please chime in.

steve

I'd like some feedback on these settings, do they look ok? Thanks.

Stealthy manner!

steve

I love Napster too, but I like Napigator (OpenNap) and WinMX rules! Keep up the good fight. I download my mp'3s in a stealty manner!

steve

If you happen to live in Johnson County (which means you have money, lol) - they are rolling out Ultraband there now, in beta testing. Check with Utilicorp Communications Services there, they are the provider. This is the only place in the KC metroplex that has this service so far.

steve

I agree with ssjDOH, WinMX rocks. By far better than Napster or using Napigator, at least for what I use it for.

steve

I thought they had fixed the routers going through Atlanta! Man, I feel your pain.

steve

Try this link & just enter your username for your area, to check outages. Sometimes it has some info that will help you figure out what is wrong.

Thanks for posting the link, Kip. Interesting stuff. I'm still looking forward to the Ultraband deployment in my area, beginning this summer. As a current @Home subscriber, and having been a subscriber for over 2 years now, I must say they have frequent outages, and pretty poor customer service as a ...

Try www.warezthis.com

Or...go to Barnes and Nobles and buy a book. Mine was $45.00.

steve

I've done numerous speed/download tests with & without my Linksys BEFS41 router, and I have no appreciable difference. A lot of people have reported slowdowns with the Linky's though, guess I'm lucky for a change. Mine works great, I can be simultaneously downloading files on 3 computers at once and ...

steve

Check the back of your computer case and make sure you see a light where the NIC card is. I had an AOpen NIC card that had a really bad intermittent connection and would drop off my LAN, until one day when I was messing around and saw the light blinking on, then off. I reseated it, put it in a ...

steve

I suggested in your other post that you check your cabling also, pretty easy & fast to do. Give it a try.

steve

Thanks glc1 - I did that right after my initial post on this and was pretty suprised to see that reliability and network congestion was a big concern of most subscribers. So the grass isn't greener on the other side at all.

steve

One more thought - you might have a bad CAT 5 cable in your setup, switch them and see if it makes any differences in your speeds.
Good luck.

steve

You might want to try a different firmware version. If your download speeds are still that bad, and you verify that by just going straight from your cable modem to your NIC, then I would take the Linky back for exchange. The SMC Barricade is another good router. I use a Linksys and have no problems ...

steve

I'm looking for feedback on fixed wireless broadband systems...especially concerning reliability, speed, latency and packet loss issues, etc. I'm contemplating switching from @Home to Sprint Broadband basically because I am becoming fed up with the reliability and slowdown issues with @Home.

steve

try forwarding the port or range of ports that the game Tribes uses. Then it should work just fine.

steve

Meant to add that this site has lots of info on networking questions too:
