one way broadband

Is it possible to install your registry tweaks on a one way broadband connection? Or will the MTU settings create problems for the uplink on a regular phone line?
Thanks

It shouldn't as long as you only tweak the settings for your network adaptor and not your dialup adaptor.

My main concern is the fact that with a one-way broadband connection, I only have high speed down, as opposed to 'true' broadband, that is two way, like yours. The uplink goes through a regular phone line.

He already told you that it shouldn't affect your dial up adaptor.

It's safe, nothing to be concerend about.

I'm not talking about my dial up adapter. That is not even in use at this time.

Maybe I should explain myself more fully.
One way broadband uses a cable for downloading and the cable modem itself is uplinked with a phone line(it doesn't use the cable for uploading). Hence the term, 'one way broadband'. So my question is directed at my network adapter, but, I'm wondering if tweaking the MTU will be too much data for the cable modem's uplink(which is a phone line)?

I would have to say no to your question, you cannot set different mtu settings for the same adapter independently for incoming and outgoing data. I have even tried doing this with a 2 nic machine, both adapters go to the same registry entries for settings.

So no, you can't as far as I know

As a former One-way cable modem user you can use a regular modem like a USR internal 56k to "send" your data.and use a MTU of 576 on a on dialup connection you make.If you copy all applicable network settings to your dialup connection you manually make.You will receive all incoming data on your Cable modem and use a RCV window of 65392.

So yes you can do what your wanting to do.As i used to do it.These two-way guys dont know much about 1-way.I had it for 2 years and researched every possibillity and the one i suggested seem's to give you the best ping times for online gaming ,usually 120 to 160ms and Downloading.Use a download accelerator also.And make sure you have a controller based internal modem like the USR 56k performance pro,not a WIN or SOFTWARE modem.....hope that helps
