SG Broadband Community

Much appreciated people.. You answered my question (and then some). Course, most of it went way over my head ! As a matter of fact, I was amazed to see it still going!

I use the old computer much like everyone else, and with the exception of an ftp server going at time, and P2P file sharing, I don ...

Thanks for the link, Croc.. But the more I look into it.. the less I am convinced that a hardware firewall adds anything more than a good software firewall will... I shall continue my research. If any others have more input or suggestions, please do not hesitate to tell me.

I was just wondering.. I have this old PII 400 that I gutted to build up my AMD 1.4.. It's on my home LAN and I was wondering... in addition to a software firewall that I am using..(ZA Pro), maybe I could rig up a hardware firewall.. But I have no idea of how to do it, or weather it really offers ...

Sweet Jesus.... Shall I was the windows too?? Just kidding... Are my results so bad that I should go through all these steps?

Here are the post-tweek results:TCP options string = 020405b40103030201010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Oh.. 1 more thing.. I installed "sguide_tweak_2k.reg" and got the following results BEFORE rebooting system..

I've recently been required to re-install Win 2k Pro.. and that means tweeking my Cable Modem settings. (I find the U/D speeds are on the slow side)I've unfortunately lost the tweeks to do so as well (Probably outdated in any case). I've seen MUspeed mentioned a few times, but that is not the tweek ...

Might of solved the problem..
within Zone Alarm, "Security SEttings" >> "Advanced" There is a section on ICS and the proper item must beck selected (i.e., "This computer is an ICS gateway"). Needless to say, it wasn't selected.. Will give it a try.. If you don't see any additional post..it's fixed ...

I am having a great deal of trouble setting up ICS in Win 2k Pro. I will go back to WinProxy if I have to, but I would rather not. I have tried the Help files in Win2k Pro, tried suggestions of using a fixed IP on the client machine, tried following the instructions on hXXp://www.homenethelp.com/web ...

"The Fizz" stretches up and tried to erase part of his original posting. Apologies people..curiosity got the best of me...

Greetings all,
I have just recently installed CableNut into my Win 2k Pro system. I am required to install one of the CCS files. It would seem that I have a choice between:
"cable_Normal_2k.CCS"
"cable_Fast_2k.CCS"

How do I know which file is appropriate for my particular cable modem and ISP ...

This is the result of the SpeedGuide test page.. (Latin to me...)
I am not using CableNut.

I kinda new to all this.. (O.K., I'm very new to this).. I'm not really happy with the speed I am getting out of my cable modem connect. Many people have pointed that out to me..So.. to figure out if I can do anything about it, anyone have any suggestions for a biginner? I was provided a little app ...
