Are you on Comcast:

Weather or not you are turn off system restore and:

In IE, go to Tools, internet options, connection tab at top, LAN settings at bottom, nothing should be checked in this box, NOTHING, No auto detect, no proxy, no automatic configuration script, NOTHING, REBOOT

No im with Rogers Cable (Canada)
When it was @home i had the caps of 3000/384. ever since they changed to @rogers the speeds has gone to hell heh.

Call them and ask what CAPS are?

Well i have found my caps from my ISP . They have changed them to 1.5mbps/192kbps.

took a speed test from speakeasy which resulted in 1148kbps/184kbps.

think i can squeeze a little more juice out of it ? i just formatted and installed win98 SE. So far ive installed the tcp/ip Optimizer.

TCP options string = 020405b40103030201010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 53 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

Try the following settings.

Settings tab:

select - cable modem
check - custom settings
network adapter selection - your NIC
check modify all adapters
maxmtu - 1500
TTL - 64
TCP Receive Window - 32120 or 37960 or 52560 or 64240
MTU Discovery - yes
Black Hole Detect - no
Selective Acks - yes
Max Dup ACKs - 2
TCP 1323 Options - uncheck both boxes*
(* if using TCP Receive Window of 65535 or higher check windows scaling)

Other Settings tab:

Max Connections per Server - 10
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 20
Lan Browsing Speedup - optimized

Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect.

Ok ill try those settings and report back. Does the Ramdrivr for Win98 really work ? cause i always had it installed but didnt make that much as a difference. When i had win2k the ramdrive helped alot. doesnt seem the same with win98. And what should i set my nic setting at ? 10mb full Duplex ? its at auto detect at the moment.

thanks btw

Your NIC duplex mode should be set to 10mb half duplex mode.
