ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

so basically, the card will never work fully operational on the aopen ax6l motherboard

I'll just leave the hardware graphic accelerator turned down for now...at least it is better than what I had.

BTW,,,this is puzzling...I can run games just fine with the accelerator fully ...

Hi again,

I found the AGP boot sequence in my bios. It was set on pci slot as 1st...I changed it to AGP. The nasty problem still persists!

Jon,

I am looking as we speak to see if I can find documentation telling me if this board is 1.0 or 2.0 AGP compatable. Nothing that I've read so far gives ...

SnotRocket

Hi and thanks for the replies,

i removed the old card from device manager if that is what you are talking about. It was a ATI All in Wonder Pro 8mb.

I do not see anything in my bios that will allow the AGP to be set as 1st bootable on video. I have an AGP aperature size...it is on 128.

The aopen ...

Thanks people for the replies,

Everything ran fine till the new geforce 2 was installed. I do have 2 extra fans installed giving some ...

Lo Gents,

I recently purchased a Nvidia Geforce 2 video card. The main problem is that the card freezes up the computer. I mainly see the freezes in Internet Explorer, but it has also done it on various other running programs and even on the desktop. I have solved the issue by sliding my graphic ...

Hi there Lobo.....I was wondering mate...Are you the real Santa Claus and is MnoSteele one of your elves? oPY3sTk4L

Sir Steele,

Another thought.....hypohthetically....what if you had two cable modems? What would be the possibility of running each to a seperate nic card inside a single puter and see a speed difference.

I'm probably way out on a limb here from the regular posts that usually go on. I am just ...

SnotRocket

Mr. Steele,

I originally bought the extra ip because it saved me from releasing the ip on my desktop when i was swapping machines so often. Also,...now this sounds dumb I know....I had the idea to bind two ip's to my tcpip. It worked...I could run ipconfig and see both ip's there, however, no ...

SnotRocket

thanks Steele,

I understand...it's like the router only takes the one ip as input and assigns different ip's (router generated) to the designated nic cards...all sharing the bandwidth from the cable modem...

Is there anything that I could do with the second IP that I pay for with Cox for 5 bucks a ...

SnotRocket

Hi Mr. Steele,

What advantage, if any, would there be in connecting my cable modem to a router and then coming off my router to two nic cards in the puter. I have purchased an additional IP address. Could both nics somehow be binded the the TCpip and AFD sys files?

Just a idea that I have been ...

Hi mate,

Just a quick thought......since you have replaced ribbon to floppy make sure the red outline of ribbon.....it has a red streak down one side is parallel to the power supply connector. If it is not connected in this manner the drive will not register nor install.

Well Gee Wilikers,

I guess an old geezer such as myself must put their 2cents in also. Now, I know that most of you youngsters want speed versus all the consequences. Nothing ever changes there! The fastest car wins the race at the local quarter mile drag strip. (that one is for you Lobo).

Hi m8,

I just ran into this exact problem yesterday on a Dell computer. I fixed the dilemna by removing Zone Alarm. Sounds strange I know, but it worked. Now, if you do not have Zone Alarm or any other fire wall installed then look at the xp config.

Hi m8,

Hey Lobo,

I solved the ad situation by pointing my internet cache to my ramdisk thus everytime I reboot everything is washed away into the great domain of never ever land. I never get pop ups this way. The down side is that only around 25 mb is dedicated to the cache and temp file. You have to ...

Greetings Gents,

Thanks to Lobo...Steele....and many others I finally am able to consistently meet my cap of 1mb down and 128K up. The solution was sitting in front of my eyes. I simply reverted back to my default settings in Windows 2000 Professional.

However, I did leave my AFD tweaks and ...

hey mnosteele,

I do exactly the same thing that you do with the tcpip and afd sys files loaded on a ram. Do you know of anything else that would be beneficial for a ram? BTW..i also have my comspec pointed to the ramdisk.

SnotRocket

go to your hardware settings...find the network card and click properties. Go to advanced from there. Lokk for the half vs. full duplex option. make sure it is on half at 10mb

Another thought,

Is the new nic set to half duplex?

Hello again,

Do you see this same spike on everything that is internet related?

SnotRocket

Mnosteele,

It sounds like he may want to try and replacing his network card. Just an idea. I have had his same problem a couple of times and the nic was causing it.

I left all the AFD parameters in place,,,,my default rwin is 17700...BTW...i went to a computer that has a cap of 3mb on dsl. You are exactly right on the topic of win2k automatically recongnizing the connection and setting its own rwin. The rwin on that machine was 64000..or somewhere around that ...

SnotRocket

Thanks m8,

The white papers explain it clearly.

So why even tweak a broadband connection at all on xp, nt, or 2000? Would a 3mb cap also give you close to 100% of meeting it with no tweaks?

I have been tweaking from the speedguide site for quiet awhile now. Here is my situation.

When I apply the 2k pathch my ...

SnotRocket

The ntfs protocol will definately slow down all processes compared to the FAT32. The only way to run a ntfs, while at the same time desiring the most advantageous tweaked network is to run a ramdrive with tcpip and afd sys files loaded on it.

Greetings Gents,

Why would you even need to install ISP software on a machine assuming that the cable modem has been addressed?

Best,

Snot

SnotRocket

ahhh....haaa

Finally some information that makes sense.....thanks for that tidbit. so I gather the cap occurs after you start throughput.

Best,

Snot

SnotRocket

First off, you have to find the MAC address of your cable modem. This can be done a couple ways, and is different with certain operating systems.

a) for Windows 9x, go to Start / Run / and type "winipcfg". In the "Adapter Address" field is your MAC address.

b) for Windows 2000/XP, go to Start ...

Cox does not offer the 3000 cap to residental in San angelo, Texas. You can only get 1000/128...unless you are willing to pay 200 a month on a business account.

Best,

SnotRocket

I see....I am using NetPerSec to monitor the speeds. Is this the case with it also? If so, how would you monitor throughput directly from the modem?
