Ok with that setting I consistently got 6600+ from DC. Im in Ohio. Even Georgia was that fast. I also tried TX and got 6100.

Vic Mackey

Ok I ran a test from Washington, DC and got 6391/491. How does that look?

Vic Mackey

Wait wait... I didnt move the connection slider at the top of tcp optimizer. Now it reads:

Ok thanks for your help! Every Shields Up and PCFlank test came back as stealthed so I guess im ok. im just paranoid because ZA needed alot more configuring, comodo seems to be a launch and forget type of thing.

Vic Mackey

Ok but does that mean its secure? Am I vunerable?

Vic Mackey

Ok I got comodo. Seems ok so far, but i have a question. Under application monitor, it has for example firefox.exe and then it says Destination "Any" and Port "Any". Is it supposed to say that? That isnt letting people thru my firewall is it? I have run all the tests at Shields Up and PCFlank and ...

Vic Mackey

When I run speedtests with ZA on full it gives me a really slow speed, like 1000. But if I turn off some of the cookie controls, etc. it gives me a good speed of like 5300 download speed. With those options on, is it really slowing my speed that much or is it just because it doesnt like my ZA ...

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is normal. just recently my sygate icon has had a solid blue down arrow and im constantly getting incoming packets. Even when im not doing anything. The 3 things that are going thru the firewall are: NT Kernel and System, Generic Host Process for ...

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

did you guys see that in the May 2003 issue on pg. 94 they mention speedguide.net for internet tweaking? thought that was cool. good for the site!

Vic Mackey

thanks for the replies! hmm, i pushed the cord in that goes to the back of the monitor. it didnt move any but when i pushed it stopped flickering...

Vic Mackey

hiya

well i have a question. my monitor is starting to spasm! it flickers sometimes and once it even made sounds at me! is my monitor dying? is my refresh rate too high? i used refresh force and it autodetected 120Hz as maximum i could go.

Vic Mackey

well if im gonna keep norton antivirus enabled i think im gonna have to turn vsync off. cause with it on my fps drop alot when norton is on also.

Vic Mackey

no i have windows XP. i doesnt shut down windows. i thought it would too but i read someone that does that to free some more ram. then to start programs they ctrl-alt-del, click new task, then browse to the .exe file of the program they want to start. for me i browse to eye.exe to start ASE.

Vic Mackey

wont having antivirus on when playing slow me down? like by running in the background?

Vic Mackey

when i called RR they said my cap was 1500down so why do i always get like 1900-2000? its never down as low as 1500

Vic Mackey

your name is courtney smith?????????????????????????

Vic Mackey

hello. when i play online games i shut down antivirus but leave firewall up cause i have cable. since I only have 256mb RDRAM i also shut down explorer.exe to free up some more ram. now if i shut that down will my firewall still protect me? it is still running in the processes menu but does closing ...

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

ok mccoffee now im confused... if i have DHCP enabled i shouldnt use this tweak?? it is enabled on my system

Vic Mackey

hey madDoctor is 1 the correct setting for this tweak? on the chart you linked none were 1. what should i put for a cable modem 2000/384?

Vic Mackey

hey jim on my network card i can do the first part of your tweak. i unchecked Automatic Metric and put a 1. but when i click add under default gateway and uncheck/put 1 in box i wont let me add it. theres an add button but its greyed out. should i keep the first part of the tweak if the second wont ...

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

Vic Mackey

is there a way to turn a .exe file into a .zip file? im trying to install detonator drivers 29.42 but theres a problem with the .exe file. it gives me an error. but if i could just get a zip copy i could install it manually. stupid auto installer is giving the problem.

Vic Mackey
