Tips on Tweaking - please read
do first
Cycle/power down modem and router turn modem off and router for 2mins then turn modem, and or router on after 2mins
backup registry goto start menu run then type regedit export registry file in a safe place
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
Remember your goal is to get about 90% of your rated speed, sometimes depending on factors beyond your control i.e. routers, servers, line quality, overloaded node etc.
YOU CANNOT TWEAK GAMMING OR PiNG SO DON'T EVEN ASK.
The Maximum Transmission Unit value should be set accordingly: 56K, PPPoA DSL, Cable Modem - 1500 / PPPoE DSL - 1492 / XP PPPoE DSL - 1480*
*Note* - With XP and PPPoE DSL your MTU can either be 1492 or 1480, make sure your settings are adjusted for the proper MTU.
56ks tweaks
A must have for xp/win2k users
A must do before any tweaks download and install both and run get rid of all spyware.
Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot 1.2 http://beam.to/spybotsd & Ad Aware 6.0 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
to remove any spyware then install and update SpywareBlaster to stay spyware FREE. YOU MUST USE BOTH AD AWARE & SPYBOT TO ENSURE YOU ARE SPYWARE FREE SINCE ONE FINDS WHAT THE OTHER MISSES.
If are using zone alarm remove it it is the biggest resource hog and bandwith eater firewall there is. Use Outpost Firewall or Sygate Firewall, both have FREE and Pro versions and are heads above ZA.
6 questions that need to be answer before help
1. Do u have cablenut and or the cablenut addon or tcp optimizer installed if not u could downloand them here
TCP Optimizer
cablenut
cablnut update has settings for advertised speed of the line for 2k/xp.
2. What verison of windows are u running such xp,2k,me,9x
Windows 98 users must have to install this patch MSPATCH
3. take the tcp analyzer and cut and paste everything below
ip information and then post with resaults
tcpipanalyzer
4. are u on cable and or dsl, dslppoe,ppoa. if ppoe, ppoe means u have to log on to internet every time make sure mtu is right for ppoe to fix it go here ppoe fixl
5.What is ur isp and with adevertised speed and average speeds u are currently getting
6. are u behind a router,and or software firewall installed

Get rid of temp files to do this goto startmenu search for *.tmp when it's done searching goto edit select all and delete
If using a router use this guide to make ips static using a router make sure u have static ips set on computers better performance[size]
static ip guide
xp users make sure you add a metric. This guide will show u the metric step and how to make static ips

Navigate to this registry entry and change the following settings:
For XP & 2K
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\ServiceProvider
For 98, 98SE & ME
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\ServiceProvider
On the right for ALL OS's change these entries: (ALL values are HEXIDECIMAL)
Class - 8
DnsPriority - 1
HostsPriority - 1
LocalPriority - 1
NetbtPriority - 1
By default Windows 2K & XP cache everything in the DNS cache service, both correct and faulty DNS lookups. To increase performance by eliminating the caching of faulty DNS lookups, change the following values from whatever their original values are to zero.
Cut and paste everything in notepad save the file dns.reg after save double click the file it will prompt you save to registry hit ok.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"NegativeCacheTime"=dword:00000000
"NetFailureCacheTime"=dword:00000000
"NegativeSOACacheTime"=dword:00000000
If using a linksys router goto 192.168.1.xxx whatever your routers ip is goto advanced make sure you have mtu set
and block wan request disabled if you are paranoid about sercurity leave it enabled however when set enabled it could effect speed.
If u are using usb to connect to your cablemodem and or dsl get na network card and network cable better performance
Cable user with no router has to have network card set 10 half duplex
dsl users use 100 full duplex
HOW TO SET THE PROPER NIC DUPLEX SETTINGS:
Win98/ME: to change to half-duplex:
* Open Control Panel.
* Double-click Network.
* From the scrollable list, select your Ethernet adapter (rather than any dial-up) with a green icon.
* Click the button Properties.
* Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front:
* In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation, or 10BT, or 10BaseT.
* In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says half-duplex or semi-duplex, or (b) at least does not say full-duplex [e.g. 10BaseT on its own is OK]. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with half-duplex, choose the 10. Do not choose 10Base5, 10Base2, or AUI.
* Click OK to exit the Adapter settings.
* Click OK all the way out - you might need to restart.
Windows 2000 or XP: to change to half-duplex:
* Open Control Panel.
* Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.
* Identify the icon for your cable modem connection: usually Local Area Connection.
* Right-click that icon and select Properties.
* Under the ethernet adapter icon, click the button Configure.
* Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front:
* In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation, or 10BT, or 10BaseT.
* In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says half-duplex or semi-duplex, or (b) at least does not say full-duplex [e.g. 10BaseT on its own is OK]. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with half-duplex, choose the 10. Do not choose 10Base5, 10Base2, or AUI.
* Click OK to exit the Adapter settings.
* Click OK to exit the Connection properties.
if u are using a router at set network card 100 full
Please do not add to this theard if there is promblem state the promblem in a new post or private message me thank you
