Cable Tweaks 4 Roadrunner?

quikstudy · Post by **quikstudy** » Mon Oct 30, 2000 2:07 pm

Cox is no fun. Play "duh" real well. Looking for a recent cable Patch to tweak any tweakable settings for Cable Modem (already set MTU to 1500. Still only getting 35% advertised dwnld speed. ANY suggestions out there??? (Already used the "Very Fine" Win98/2000/Me Cable Patch from this Site. Need other Optimal Numerical Settings where Applicable. Anybody? Mom?

To: SGTMAJRET -- K, this site tweaks WIN Me ( my OS) MTU to 1500. Just dwnlded 7-Day trial $$ Patch, which optimizes the RWIN Settings for Cable (think might be from Shaw) Aren't there other "tweakable settings in this area -- on a Windows Page somewhere in CyberGatesLand -- that one can set manually. I regularly dump temp files thru disk cleanup in sys tools & that speeds my connection 5-10% depending...My question is this: Why doesn't some bright, egotistical *&%*&^%* out there Post their settings (and what they are listed under) and average estimated overall speed. You know these settings are for the most part ignored w/dial-ups. With a Cable Modem they seem to be very important in finding optimal SystemSpeed...THEREFORE: Is a Patch really necessary?

These are the settings I use on Road Runner in Memphis:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"CacheTimeout"=dword:0000ea60
"DefaultTTL"=dword:00000064
"EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000001
"KeepAliveTime"=dword:000493e0
"SackOpts"=dword:00000001
"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003
"DisableDHCPMediaSense"=dword:00000001
"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:0003ebc0
"TcpNumConnections"=dword:00fffffe
"TcpRecvSegmentSize"=dword:000005b4
"TcpSendDownMax"=dword:00004000
"TcpSendSegmentSize"=dword:000005b4
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:0003ebc0

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000064

They took me from 300k average d/l to 700k average d/l.

If they work ok for you let us know. Sure made an improvement for mine

You can enter them manually one at a time or you can copy and paste it into a text file and save it as <some name>.reg. For convienance i am reposting below with the copy and paste thing:

******************begin copy*****************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"CacheTimeout"=dword:0000ea60
"DefaultTTL"=dword:00000064
"EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000001
"KeepAliveTime"=dword:000493e0
"SackOpts"=dword:00000001
"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003
"DisableDHCPMediaSense"=dword:00000001
"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:0003ebc0
"TcpNumConnections"=dword:00fffffe
"TcpRecvSegmentSize"=dword:000005b4
"TcpSendDownMax"=dword:00004000
"TcpSendSegmentSize"=dword:000005b4
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:0003ebc0

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000064

*****************end copy********************

after you save the file just click on it to enter it into the registry.

K, but what is this "Cable Nuts" URL? Have searched & searched & can't locate it. Oh, and do you know if it is ok to run in conjunction w/speedguide WinMe Cable Tweak, OR should the CableNuts Patch replace the SpeedGuide one? Any Advice?

I've tried the tweaks but I don't see any difference. I'm just wondering can these tweaks work for Advance Server?

I have RR and I'm in Los Angeles.

Mystic, you said:>>these are for windows 2000 only<<
I was told that WMe uses the same Registry settings for the Net connection as W2000?
Not true? Is there a similar set for WMe?

To SGTMAJRET: Cox RR Installers had to replace "chip"(?) here at hotel (new wiring) where I reside. Toshiba Modem ModelPCX1100 would not "lock in". After lock-in accomplished still only 10K dwnld, yes, 10K. Only with WinMe Patch this site did it jump to my current average of only 35-150k. Cox advertises 1.5 Meg MINIMUM dwnld avg uo to 3 meg. They missed service call & refused advertised $20 rebate. They installed it & won't come out & check Modem, or as I suggested, TRY another Physical Modem of same model to check to see if fault is with actual modem. FYI, Leonard (quikstudy)

For quikstudy:

When you say you get 35 - 150 kb, is that in bits or bytes?

Thanks

To Kip Patterson: 3-145"k" napster dwnlds. Some 150-200"K" on short (2 meg., Program dwnlds). Both listed above top-end 2nd number is highest so far. quikstudy

I guess I wasn't quite clear - are the numbers you have posted in bits or bytes?

Changing the RWIN babY! in this BB, today.
Brent, there is my post about RWIN there.
My question: I used W98/Me tweak from http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_modems/cable_patches.shtml. Do I have to do anything else in the Registry, including RWIN?
"Current settings for 3com USB interface device" are: MTU 1500, RWIN 8760, TTI 32, Blackhole 0, Discobery 1. TIA.
