Sorry. The tweak I was referring to is outlined in your recent post around leaving certain cablenut values blank, etc(the recent poll). Now as regards XP SP2 Beta, has anyone implemented it?

gaeill

This latest tweak bumped up my speed . Also wondering is anyone using the Beta SP2 service pack yet with all the new security implmentations?I'm on Adelphia 3000/256.

Is there a specific formula or are these standard settings for a 1460 MSS?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]

"NumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a
"MaxForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00024a00
"MaxNumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a

I came across this somewhere and would ask if anyone can explain it and ...

I have Adelphia here in Maine and tracerts are doing the same thing on this end. Seems like ever since Adelphia started tiering their broadband into two categories, ie Premium 3000/384 and Regular 2000/256, I've noticed this.

gaeill

I'm glad that it's the ISP. For the same money I've been paying over the last year, I'm now getting less bandwidth, lower caps and lousy networks. Isn't capitalism just grand! Their e-mail server has been down all day as well. Thanks for the reply

gaeill

Recently, Adelphia, in this area, started offering two different "packages" of connectivity. For over a year my caps were 3000/128 Now they've changed to 2000/256 and one has to pay more for 3000/384. In any event, I adjusted my cable nut settings accordingly but have noticed that when doing a ...

Could someone please clarify for me this entry in cable nut.
I believe it has something to do with the amount of RAM

These CD's that display this folder view are generally data CD's that I've made with NERO. I don't have any problem with autorun just the folder page popping up with the hundreds of individual files on the CD

gaeill

I have TweakuiXP installed and I went to Autoplay>Handlers>Open Folders to view and unckecked everything listed and rebooted but the folder listing page continues to pop up detailng everything on the CD. Am I missing something? Thanks for patience

gaeill

When I insert a CD- XP automatically pops up a page detailing every folder on that CD. I would like to know how to change that behaviour so that the CD autoruns but I don't get the pop-up page detailing all the files that it contains. Thanks much.

gaeill

I'm using DHCP on a standalone, non-networked PC and when I disable netbios over TCP, my speeds drop considerably. Just a fluke or are these dark Maine Winters getting to me

gaeill

Thanks for all help. It's a miserably cold day here in Maine and I have nothing better to do than nit-pik at my system- which by the way is running so much better with SP1(Big decrease in CPU utilization and ram in normal operations)

gaeill

I ran across a tip last year on how to run XP with one administrative account and nothing else. I am very dense with permissions and so forth and recently had to format and reinstall and wound up with an administrative account and an account with my name on it that is supposedly administratively ...

I guess this opens up another issue regarding speed testing. When downloading a test file of anything over 3 megs, I do not reach 90% of my caps(usually 70%). Anything less than 3, I either surpass my caps or am in the steady 90% category. I see others in this forum testing consistently high with a ...

gaeill

I know that there has been a reference to this before many times in this forum. But I need a refresher.
When I start to download a 5meg or greater file- my download speed will start off fine and as the download continues past maybe the first 3 megs, the speed drops significantly off(as much as 1 mb ...

To quote Vic Mackey "what does early tx threshold do? is 63 best setting for cable?" I've read the article on optimizing.net regarding setting up ethernet adapters and have to admit that I still remain confused. In my settings under "early Tx threshold" I have a value of 38 (I don't know what type ...

Jake. We are in the same "neck of the woods" Standish, ME!!

Adelphia for me has been a roller coaster as far as speed goes. Sometimes it flies- other times it is as slow as or slower than an analog modem. What has worked for me is, having found my ideal settings when Adelphia is running "full bore (boar?), is not to tamper with them. The speed will bounce ...

gaeill

Just checking in as I've had this value set at 26 hex. Changing to 2 hex also gives me a value ending with 2 decimal. Is this correct?This is on Win2K

gaeill

Are the Adelphia caps that low in VA? Here in Maine they are 3000/128 though lately I've been getting speeds lower than 256/128. Just checking in.

Sometime around 1-1:30 am this morning, my download speed abruptly jumped from 4.8 kb/s to around 200.00 kb/s in a matter of seconds. I was in the midst of a huge download and and had "lanspeed" open. It was almost as if someone had decided they'd had enough, turned off their computer and went to ...

gaeill

Yeah, my upload speed fits into the range of "90% of my cap". Unfortunately, Adelphia is the only broadband available out here. I signed on shortly after it became available in April 02' and thought my self so "F..'en" lucky when I read the numerous gripes about how unstable it was in other parts of ...

gaeill

Thanks for the responses. In terms of finding an alternate DNS server, How would I choose one and how would I configure it?
I have noticed over the months I've had Adelphia, that when certain sites I regularly visit change there DNS addresses, that it seems it takes quite a while until they are ...

Your connection hardly qualified as broadband, at least in that test(BOSTON Speed ...

I have used the tweaks in this forum to their full advantage. I have Adelphia(3000/128) and for the the last 3 or so months have used what I believe to be my ideal settings. Speed tests and download tests have consistantly been 90% or above my caps and I've had no problems. For the last two weeks ...

Through tips and advice I have received by using this forum, I have reached what I believe to be optimum settings for my computer. They have stayed in place now for almost 2 months and I have not felt the need to adjust anything any further. My provider is Adelphia(3000/128) and the only "outage" I ...

Just out of curiosity, are you using a USB Modem. I've had problems with a USB Modem sucking up not only ram but processor time as well in WINXP. This does not happen on my USB setup in Windows 2000.
As I am no longer on dialup for internet, I don't have any such problems, using my NIC. But trying ...

I had used an earlier beta build without problem as well. But I did notice that the file dates were mixed in that particular beta- some files are dated back to 2001. This new(official?) release has everthing dated 7/22-23/02

gaeill

Downloaded and installed. Now defragging the hard drive. Later speed testing. Such fun!!

gaeill

There are all sorts of "leaked" SP1's for XP on the net. The latest build I believe is 1081. I'm not messing with that one till it's final as my primary OS is still Win2k

gaeill

No. This is strictly for Windows 2000. Microsoft is currently working on the release of a service pack for Windows XP.

gaeill

According to WARP, NEOWIN, IEXBETA etc, it has the same digital signature as the last leak. As the url is on the Microsoft servers, it is being speculated that this is final

gaeill

Service Pack 3. It updates core components of the operating system, provides cumulative security fixes and broadens compatibility of the Windows 2000 Operating System.

Testing consistently over cap of 3000 after changing values and adding AFD reg entry.. Results ranging from 3014 >3084, but then again, this is one of Adelphia's "good" days. However I've never gotten repeated values over 3000 until today.

Very nice.

While on the forum does anyone know what this ...

gaeill

Thanks for all the input. With Adelphia, When things are going well (and they frequently do) I'm still reaching my cap and above(3000/128). But there are particular times of the day that the aformentioned behaviours occur and maybe two days out of the week that my speed drops to half of my cap or 1 ...

gaeill

More than likely it is the cable provider Adelphia. I have done nothing new to registry or network configuration for some time and this behaviour has only surfaced the the last week or so. I did, however, install Win2k SP3 that's been floating around and I know that several key DHCP service files ...

No- Single computer- no routers or hubs. never has been. this has been occuring on Win2K.
