Girl needs a Man to fix her LAN

[Peach84]

Hey! it rhymes lol. well anyways, yeah the LAN in my dorm says im getting 10 Mbps and yet whenever i want to download stuff, go to webpages, or even play a game i lag like a 36k. i've been to the connection forums and networking forum also and they had me update all my drivers etc. and now they sent me here to modify my connection options. (i have no idea where to begin with this which is where everyone else comes in handy : ) i did the connection analyzer and it gave me this:

TCP options string = 020405b40103030301010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 1456
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 3 bits (scale factor of 6)
Unscaled Receive Window = 182

RWIN is invalid
bandwidth * delay product:

RWIN is invalid


Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 51 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000

My os is Windows Xp professional and any other info u need posted im sure i can find out. any and all help is TOTALLY TOTALLY appreciated thanks for your time guys. <3

Your rwin is too low try the following in cablenut which is below me to download and install.

. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.

2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections -
LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.

3. ALWAYS connect your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it is ISP dependent unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL (the instructions are in my Help & Tips link). If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

4. Clear your temporary internet files.

5. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 15 seconds.

6. Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot 1.2 http://beam.to/spybotsd & Ad Aware 6.0 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download 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.

7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in Read1st link.

8. If you have Zone Alarm as a firewall uninstall it then visit Zonelabs.com for further instructions on removing it's left over junk.

9. Install Outpost Firewall http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost or Sygate Firewall http://www.sygate.com/, both have FREE and Pro versions and are heads above ZA.

10. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one IMMEDIATELY, AVG 6.0 http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php is an excellent FREE AV app.

11. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates.

ok i did everything u recommended, one last thing though. i'm on a LAN provided by my school, does it work the same way cable does? i ask bc u give me a good deal of advice for cable connections but thats not what i have. just wondering if thats at all relevant or if it doesn't matter at all. thanks a TON for all this help, you're totally awesome ; )

also, i just did the cablenut thing and it says my os is windows 2000, does that matter at all? i tried changing it to xp but thats not an option. thx

[illestdynasty]

Yeah cablenut will tweak any/all connections. Your probably on a T1 or T2 connection. Also, Win2k and XP use the same kernal

Your settings are for any connection that is 10/10 with an mtu for 1500
