Is there any tweaks to better optimize the connection for the way I use it?

My 1500/128 cable connection is shared via a Netgear WGR614 router with 2 other PCs. Must I tweak all 3 PCs for optimum Internet performance?

Yes you should.

When you uninstall Cablenut your settings will revert back to Windows default

I use it also. It's about the best one around other than using a very fast FTP server for testing speed.

I corrected the MTU discovery. Also, I upgraded to cox's 5000down and 768 up and have a tech coming Sat to check on the signal levels. I just ran a test and got 4710 down(good) and 110 up(bad), should be at least 400 up. We'll see what the signals look like and go from there.

Thank you for the input. I have done what you suggested to no avail. I am behind a router and I powered off all systems, router and cablemodem. I brought the cablemodem up first and waited until it had established a connection to Cox. I then brought up the router. Then the PC and went to Newsbin ...

As far as I know there isn't one that will move the page file. If you have large drive make a partition the size of the page file and and move it there setting the min/max to the partition size.

earthmofo

macroped & Bill3508, it could be a provisioning error. Try turning off your cable modems for a couple of minutes then powering it up again.

If either of you are behind a router then turn everything off including any computers that are on the network. Power up the modem first and let it make the ...

Try downgrading the firmware to a version prior to the one you have now. Sounds like it could be a bad upgrade.

Okay, I'm trying it.

I have the exact same problem .... I would really like to know what the fix is , as i have just gotten a new Router yesterday , because my ISP thought that it was my Router that has a problem .... But it wasen't :cry:

Did you use Microsoft's Sysprep tool? If both machines have the same error it seems to be pointing to Sysprep as the cause.

earthmofo

It should be Event ID 4226 not 4266. My error in the reply.

earthmofo

Are you behind a router? Try unpluging the modem for a few minutes then power it up again. Could just be a provisioning problem.

You may have reached the new limit imposed on concurrent TCP connectin attempts with SP2. The new limit is supposed to help stop the spread of worms and trojans (see below). Look to see if you have the following in your event log.

You should be able to uninstall SP2 with Add or Remove Programs (Windows Xp Service Pack 2) in the Control Panel unless you didn't backup your old files when you installed it.

Did you defrag your HD after the install?

earthmofo

I have Norton SW 2005 running on my rig with XP Pro SP2 with no problems at all. Did you log on to XP as adminstrator to do the install? Was it a fresh install or an upgrade? Have you turned any services off in XP?

earthmofo

Why would you need those ports open? Port 445 is commonly used by networked Windows computers to display network directories while Port 139 is used by NetBios to manage network traffic and to enable you to share files, printers, and other resources with other computers on a home network.

You need to change the following:

DefaultReceiveWindow - 384000
DefaultSendWindow - 32768
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize - 64240
TcpWindowSize - 64240

A T1 is 1500 Kbits/s in both directions. As for your connection, is that 600 Kbytes/s or 600 Kbits/s? Big difference. 600 Kbytes = 4800 kbits which would be excellent. 600 Kbits = 75 Kbytes.

earthmofo

With Windows 98, ME "IRQ#=4096" is valid and can speed up your connection.

For 2000, NT or XP the priority tweak works.

earthmofo

Thanks a lot for your help, buckifan.

I put the connections to 100 and now I am not having any problems at all. It's stupid that SP2 limits it to 10.

Thanks again.

The reason MS limited the max connections is to help slow the spread of worms and trojans. It's actually not the connections but ...

mcoffee, pages are loading as fast as ever.

After finally getting some time to try tweaking SP2 I have come up with the best settings for my Cox connection. I decided to pretty go much with Windows default settings except for a couple of basic changes. I was getting close to 4300 kbits download and 515 upload. I know you have a Cox connection ...

The tcpip.sys that was included with SP2 had been updated for security reasons. It now allows only 10 concurrent incomplete open outbound connections. It is supposed to help stop the spread of worms and trojans. Applications with many connection attemps may be very slow or not work at all. Even web ...

I would suggest using a Latency value of 100. The calculation would then be:

(10000 * 100 / 8) / 1460 = 85.6164

Round to the nearest whole number which would be 86

86 * 1460 = 125560

I would just use 128480 for your RWIN. Remember to set Tcp13210pts to 1 to turn on Windows Scaling.

If the RWIN is at least as large as the modem cap times the round trip time (latency), no increase in the RWIN will produce a faster speed.

Things to keep in mind when tweaking.

Yes you can. It has the same features as 8.0. I finally got around to ghosting the OS back to my main drive but you need the boot disk to be able to do it. I thought it would have just booted to dos to do it like in 8.0.

It was directly related. The fix was for Event ID 4226. I had it in my event log. I used lvllord's patched version of the fix and it hasn't occured since.

The tcpip.sys that was included with SP2 had been updated for security reasons. It now allows only 10 concurrent open connections. It is supposed to help stop the spread of worms and trojans. It can create a lot of problems especially with P2P programs. With file shareing programs it is often ...

It has something to do with SP2. The Analyzer only reads what is being reported as the Tcp Window value from the packets. Because of SP2 if there is a value present for DefaultReceiveWindow in the AFD parameters then that is the value it reports. If the entry is not present in AFD then it reports ...

earthmofo

I am sorry but this is BS.

The Analyzer is looking at the only TCP Window value that is present in packets, the one and only value that is seen by servers. Period. Regardless of Operating system, regardless of Registry values, AFD, tcpip.sys, or whatever else.

I agree. The real question is why ...

earthmofo

Just FYI .

Actually, the Speedguide Analizer and DSLreports Tweak Test both report the DefaultReceiveWindow of AFD only if the value is present in the registry. If no value exists then they both report the correct RWIN (TcpWindowSize).

It did the disk copy from within Windows. Ghost never rebooted to dos at all. Haven't really tried anything other than the disk copy yet though.

earthmofo

I just got a copy of it and there has been quite a lot of changes. I haven't really folled around with it yet but I did do a disk copy to my backup hd and it didn't boot to dos. Just did everything within Windows. Seemed to be faster that way.

earthmofo

I think you have to turn off System Restore first. You should then be able to delete the System Volume folder.
