Well thank you Norm. I need more reading & hands on time time but my router understanding is vastly improved. I have an ethernet cable from my PC to router. I also have a laptop in another room

So any ideas on why my internet seems to work ok yet it fails parts of the diagnostic test? Thanks

reeo

Here is the diagnostic test

reeo

Its a Actiontec C1000A. Century Link is the ISP. It basically seems to work ok. I get the advertised speeds but at times latency may be be an issue. No packet loss to to speak of so I am not sure why these two items failed the diagnostic test. I'm not sure how attach a copy of the test or what other ...

I did not find "remote administration" listed under inbound or outbound but remote assistance is enabled. It was rebooted by Century Link twice. I have not customized any settings on this modem.
It replaced a Q1000 that I had changed the password. If a reset does not fix would I still have internet ...

My ISP is century link with a C1000a modem/router. I used the TCP optimizer hopefully to improve Steam's CSGO gaming. I tried to login into the modem this morning but I could not because the password was incorrect. It was never changed so I called century link and they could not correct and said ...

Thanks, I'm not sure what email I used but my AMD Athlon and 32MB Nvida card are out of date. I'll reset all of that including my old ISP Cox.

reeo

but I wanted to have a card sent with the monitor so I would receive them at the same time. I would probably be getting in over my head technical wise anyway. Prefer to stay with Nvidia. Any other suggestions?

Thanks, reeo

I want to buy a 226BW Monitor. My concern is the video card. After opening all modes the monitor resolution needed of 1680 X 1050 is not shown. I've read some FX 5200 cards will work and some won't.

What is your opinion on this card? Think it can be used? If not suggest a good card or how about ...

reeo

Qwest must have had problems for a few days. As of today my speed is close to what it use to be 1300 down and 780 up.

Question though: I changed MTU back to 1500. Is the network card suppose to be set at 100 full? It use to be set at 10 1/2 mode and my speed use to be faster on the D/L side before ...

reeo

It was set at 10, 1/2 mode, I changed it and MTU. It actually slowed down a tiny bit. My D/L speed is at 79.
Any more thoughts? All was well until a couple of days ago and I never changed a thing.

One more question because it looks like I'll be going to dial up.

I see, thanks I completely missed that part. Doh

reeo

Eh? I asked a real question. Do I need to delete all cablenut settings on dial up? In other words go back to std Win XP settings?

thanks, reeo

reeo

Currently I'm on cox cable. I have tweaked my settings and it works pretty good. I intend to move in the near future but I might have to settle for dial up.

Do I need to delete cable nut? I'm uncertain what I really need to do.

thanks, reeo

I had the 512000 in but not the 98304. it picked things up a bit to 3800 down. I doubt it will get much better. Thanks for your help.

I am using your settings for 3000/256, now I'm at 4000/512. In the other Cox HSI thread it was suggested changing them. I used those numbers and it helped a little. I went from 3570 down to 36 75 appx. I seemed to notice slower loading web pages more often. Is there an in between setting I could ...

reeo

I see, here I thought mozilla was magical. I just checked speed with IE and got a 3698/502. I'm in Phoenix so it's changed here also.

reeo

reeo

I installed FireFox things changed. My cap is suppose to be 3000/256 or maybe 300. I just did a speed test with an average of 3600/490!
What's happening it seems pretty fast? I see it changed my settings to a fair degree. I'm using Win XP. Here is the analizer results.

OK, thanks it just seemed to small of a number so i thought it wasn't being entered incorrect.

Thanks, that should give me someting to do for a while. I did install an older version of zone alarm, too bad. I have the instructions on how to delete it though. Thanks again

Thanks,

All I show is, show small icons in start menu. That box I keep unchecked because it would be to small. Was that your reference? I have no options on task bar icons, just different options on tool bars, and icon size or tool bar size isn't one of them.

reeo

reeo

Is there a way or setting that one can increase the Icon size in the links and task bar? I have Win ME with IE6 and will soon be going to XP. I know about the customze feature for the top tool bar, it's in place.

I'm getting a 19" Flat pannel and the suggestion resolution is 1280x1024. I'm at ...

Thanks, I'll give 51100 a try. What I was asking about is the hexidecimal code. Here is the text from that page, I put the sentence in bold. I don't understand where the hexadecimal 01 goes in the string or just change the last two numbers?. :confused:

If you are running either 98 or 98SE, install ...

reeo

I still havent made any registry change. That is part do to what I should add and if I do. I don't understand where the hexidecimal code goes. Regardless my speed is up a tad.
Other than the code, is there an rwin setting between 40880 and 52560. It likes both but not over or under the two numbers ...

A couple of questions. I haven't been around for a long time, several months. O/S is windows ME. I have speed guide tweak 98 and it looks to be speed guide tweak 9x now. I have the cablenut 408 adjuster and that is all. here are my settings--------

Thanks for the link. My highest latency was 220 during a download. I see it said to use the calculator, but I can't find the calculator, sorry. Where is it, or am I just blind? LOL I think I can follow the other instructions.
Thanks again,

Yes, that is what I was after. I changed them all to 01 00 00 00. It must be ok I still have a connection! It seems to work pretty good. So Now I could experiment with the Rcv window to see if it gets better or worst? It's been a while, what is the best way to check latency. I was thinking PC ...
