Might also try Networking Forum

I suggest the following for both:

DefaultReceiveWindow = 768000
DefaultSendWindow = 128000
DisableAddressSharing = 1
InitialLargeBufferCount = 100
InitialMediumBufferCount = 240
InitialSmallBufferCount = 320
LargeBufferSize = 81920
MaxFastTransmit = 64000
MediumBufferSize = 15040
PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 1280
TransmitWorker = 32
FastSendDatagramThreshold = 4096
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1
IgnorePushBitsOnReceive = 0
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 256960
MaxFreeTcbs = 8000
MaxHashTableSize = 16384
MaxNormLookupMemory = 5000000
SackOpts = 1
SynAttackProtect = 1
Tcp1323Opts = 1
TcpLogLevel = 1
TcpMaxDupAcks = 2
TcpMaxHalfOpen = 100
TcpMaxHalfRetried = 80
TcpRecvSegmentSize = 1460
TcpSendSegmentSize = 1460
TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30
TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer = 0
TcpWindowSize = 256960
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 40
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 20
DefaultTTL = 64
DisableUserTOSSetting = 0
TcpMaxDataRetransmissions = 6
DefaultTOSValue = 92



Also make sure to set both NIC duplex modes to 100mb full duplex.

ty for your help guyz

[vvarrior]

I'll let you know how it works

[vvarrior]

one more question how can u tell if ur nic card is on 100mbps??? im on windows XP

[joecool169]

1) Right Click on My Computer and choose propertes
2) Click on the Hardware Tab
3) Click Device Manager
4) Click the Plus next to Network Adaptors
5) Right Click your nic and choose properties
6) Click on the Advanced tab in the box that pops up
7) Highlight Media Type and change the value to what you wish

Should be set to 100BaseTX Full_Duplex with a router
10BaseT with Cable and no router

Tip- To get to the system properties box faster press and hold the <WINDOWS> key and the <Pause Break> key at the same time

Link Speed & Duplex thats what it is under and its on auto detect should i leave it like that or change it???

[mccoffee]

change it from auto u don't have to I would though.

[vvarrior]

k i will than

[joecool169]

In a few cases a nic may not work right set to 100TX Full_Duplex but if you switch it to that and it works fine then I would leave it

If someone happens to have a nic that don't work set like that then the next best choice is auto detect....at least it is with a router

[vvarrior]

i set it to 100mbps full and works fine
