Vista will adjust RWIN automatically to suit the latency of your connections. Thus, you cannot set a static value for it.Brave_heart wrote:what do you mean Vista is auto tweaked?
that was the first thing i did
what is a tracert?

click start? dude, what does that mean? click what start?trogers wrote:Vista will adjust RWIN automatically to suit the latency of your connections. Thus, you cannot set a static value for it.
To do a tracert, click 'Start' and then 'Run'. Type "cmd" into the box and click 'ok'.
A DOS black screen will appear. Type after the C:\>
tracert http://www.yahoo.com
and press enter key
When test is completed, move mouse cursor to the DOS black screen, click right and choose 'select all'.
Move mouse cursor to the Quick Reply box of this forum, click right and 'paste'.
gotcha, the word start can mean plenty of things, i thought he was talking about some program.YARDofSTUF wrote:Windows vista picture at the bottom left of the screen.

really? ok i turned it off and moved it far away from the computer and the router(it was right next to the computer) and then i tested it again:trogers wrote:Slight irregular ping times at the modem in hop 2 that cascade down to later hops (4,6,7).
Your modem is probably being affected by electromagnetic interference from some nearby device.
Turn off power to the modem and relocate it to a place a few feet away from ALL other electrical devices, including away from the router.
Start a new thread. Tell us what speed you paid to get and post your TCP Analyzer report.ejack681 wrote:hey. i have the same prob but totally the same. but when i tried the optimizer, my connection didnt change, i think it slowed it down.. idk.. im confused.. i have a router. should i take my router out to see the effect?

Check and make sure the cable connecting the modem to the wall socket are not coiled or twisted and not damaged. Check and ensure all connectors are tightly seated.Brave_heart wrote: 1 2 ms 1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1

Do you have any large electrical equipment placed nearby, eg. guitar amp or sub-woofer?

Thease look fishy since it's unknown owner file missing also try downloading and running cccleaner it's a free app it also fixes registry essues as well http://www.ccleaner.com/
