Very impressive. What did you do, dig down in your front yard - find the backbone and tap in??

I want some.

its called Comcast Pro 3500/384 for just 95 a month including modem rental......

It's alot more than CONcast pro, I left boxes blank in adjuster that I did not think I need to mess with, you may if you wish
Some of this may be Bill's way or not, but the picture does not lie, and yes when I find something better I will try and change settings:

This is more for XP than anything else as that is what I use, but you all may learn alittle.First I must say I'm sorry to those who know all this or most of it, but this is for the new people mostly who don't know so don't bite me, these are my opinions and may or may not work for everyone, no rebutals please or I may have to jump.
This is about Cablenut's program, you all must remember that all our connections are different so what works for me may not you, so change what you want, if you want to try what I use then try it all, 1 setting you do not change can make the difference in fast or slow, I realize it's alot of work, but don't guess, do all of it or none of it. I use SG's Optimizer and Cablenut

First when you install Windows there are a few
things I do, turn off system restore first, it's neat to restore but it will slow you down more than anything, my old computer I had 640 Megs of RAM, thought that was enough to run system restore, weep, weep, I was wrong, my new computer I thought I would beat it, got 768 DDR RAM, wrong again, so you ask how to restore. I use Norton Ghost 2003, it makes exact image of
drive or partition so if you make a boo-boo it take's about 5 minutes to put the image back on, and no, it's not free but well worth it, you must have burner or CD-R or CD-RW, you can
check it out : http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/
There are free ones out there, I have not tried them, but the most important thing is you must make them bootable or you are just going to have alot of files that won't boot to Windows.
9x users do not have to worry about this as backing up registry will restore your system to previous state, not in XP.
Turn off automattic updates, resourses-RAM, yes it's nice but it uses your RAM, I heard along time ago that Dannjr at Cablenuts, very smart man had 4 slots to put RAM, he had 512 Megs of
RAM in each slot, hint, hint, so with 2048 Megs of RAM you could run anything and not worry about it slowing you down, speaking of Dannjr it was his ideal I believe to in W2K/XP use your CAPS to determine Default Recieve Window and Default Send Window which works:
To determine Default Receive Window, take your CAPS, Divide download CAP by 8, round up to next number if not whole then multiply by 1024. A example is my download CAP is 3500. 3500
divided by 8 is 437.5 kilobytes, (round up to 438) and multiply 438 x 1024 = 448512. 448512 would be my DefaultReceiveWindow,
Do the same for DefaultSendWindow use upload
CAP, mine is 384, divided by 8 is 48, multiply that by 1024= 49152, that is my Default Send Window.

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

You will notice that in Cablenut's adjuster for W2K and XP there are 38 boxes or enties you can make, some are not in your registry by default, if you go to top of adjuster, under options,
click show paths=yes, now when you click on box on adjuster it tells you where in registry than item is located, if you see the letters AFD, it is not in your registry unless you type
something in box. So you hear default values are used if you leave box blank, this is true for items in registry. I will show you copy of one of my ccs files, DSL users may want to try these first, If MTU is 1500 Cable users too: You select TCP WindowSize: 51100 or 64240, the rest set box in adjuster that says Tcp1323Opts to 1, this enables scalling, 128480, 204400, 256960, 348720, 373760, 405880, 481800, 513920, 522680, 548960, 584000 so Cable and DSL users can use if MTU is 1500,DSL users may have more luck with Window size of 64240 or 51100 I am not a patch maker, I just filled in what I thought I needed to, you can add if you like, change, whatever:

http://www.sphosting.com/lobo/ADJ.jpg
You fill in first 2 boxes as explained above.

System Edit, type sysedit in run box, close out of all boxes except last one, I am on partition E, you may be on C, I have 2 entries at bottom, one gives NIC more RAM, my NIC is on Irq 20, use yours, if it is a single digit like 3, 5, 7, 9 put a 0 in front of it so it looks like 03, 05 and so on
Use this if it helps or take it out, I use it
http://www.sphosting.com/lobo/sysedit.jpg
LocalLoadHigh - This setting tells the operating system to load its local drivers into upper memory by default as opposed to trying to squeeze them into conventional memory. Even though you'd think this wouldn't matter anymore, DOS still does play a role in how fast the operating system and leaving it whatever
resources it might need is important. To enable this tweak, you should insert the line LocalLoadHigh=1

Type regedit in run box, navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Priority

Control
I have this in mine:
http://www.sphosting.com/lobo/Reg12-22.jpg

I don't use BufferMultiplier anymore, this new computer came with NTFS File system installed so that is what I am using

I use Cacheman RAM Booster, some don't, select
Network applications, if you have little RAM select unlode DLL's, read read me file
http://63.167.204.34/downloads.php?...8ba59937253dc57

Then try real download test: ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64

http://www.neotechcc.org/forum/online-speed-tests.htm

I am not arguing about any of this, it may be
different but works for me.

Remember if you want other programs that puts
icon next to clock in taskbar, get more RAM, Read about each entry and if it uses resources by how high the number is:

If you cannot see images well, go to IE, tools at top. internet options, advanced tab at top, down to, put check mark in enable automattic image resizing]

you do realize most of those progs you mention make your PC use more ram then it has to. I mean hell its XP, it runs NT5, you can't tweak NT's memory performance that much more then it already is, and also, i know your doing something wrong, because with system restore off or on my PC doesn't have any noticeable difference.... All the NIC tweaking, and etc I'll give you credit there, but your theories about RWIN are jus..... oh well........ you'll get it one day.....

You can look at speedshots and tell whether they work or not, enough

Notice I said inconsistant speeds, try to maintain that speed in gaming.......

I'm fine, I just disagree, but were done

What you don't seem to understand is that the majority of what you posted above and post on a daily basis has absolutely no effect on your internet connection. And to top it all off, you continue to post your speed results with all these different settings and the is NO DIFFERENCE at all in all the tests, so why post this crap at all?

It's not crap because it's not your way, and they are not the same speedshots, but people can do as they wish

Originally posted by Lobo

Do you even read anything I post? Your speed is within 200KB/s in EVERY SINGLE SPEED TEST YOU POST...... NO difference.

Works for me, so you do it your way and me mine, I'm not changing so leave it be

Originally posted by Lobo

Fine..... so quit posting it because NOBODY cares. If you want to screw up you connection and pc then that is your right, but don't post it here confusing people who want to learn because it's nothing but garbage.

hehehehehe, your just trying to scare people, my settings won't hurt anyone's puter, man your nuts

People come here to optimize their connections, NOT slow them down. And yes I have had a number of people tell me that they had to reformat their pc after following your advice on some of your tweaks. These people are inexperienced and don't know how to fix the problems you cause (neither do you.... thus the routine reformats).

Nope, I believe speedtests

I know why you are doing this, trying to scare people, but I can upload settings to web hosting server and not have all your crazy comments in it, my settings won't crash anything, give it up or I'll have to do a search for when you recommended larger RWIN's, enough

Originally posted by Lobo
Nope, I believe speedtests

Do you want me to go back and show you ALL your ridiculous posts where you posted your speed with every different size RWIN and there is NO difference. What is it you don't get????????? You have used no settings, just let XP handle your TCP/IP, hard coded 64240, 256960, 513920, 548000......... AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!!!!!!!!


All you are doing is increasing the chances of retransmitted packets, which WILL occur and slow you down, by setting your RWIN so high.

GEEZ COURTNEY get a CLUE.

OK, talk to you later, Dr. Tweaky, football on, my setting's are fine, I luv them

... football on ...
I checked all my cableTV prgs - I have none

Aw man!! popcorns gone. Gotta go get more. Hang on Guys

This is getting stupid, I don't give out setting's that hurt people's puter's, but what better way to scare people, if they would hurt, Administrator would stop it , popcorn, I need a double

mnosteele52, stop bashing. Lobo has been here long enough, i'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about ... i used some of his tweaks/tips, and so far NONE of them "hurt" my computer. So can't you 2 just get a long, and instead of fighting help someone?

He has NO idea what he's talking about just read his posts and see. I have had nemerous people tell me about allot of problems he has caused on their pc's by following his suggestions.

You don't know the half of it, he started ALL of this a while back and I warned him to stop it or else..... so you tell him to stop HIS childish ways. I would never complain about him if he was accurate in his information and actually helped people instead of posting the garbage he does.

Can't stand it when someone has a bettert way, why do you put default settings in adjuster

HUH???

Why do you put default setting's in adjuster?

There are no hard coded values in 2K & XPs registry. I put in what I want so I know it's set properly.

First you say it's there by default (Yesterday) today. no, Hmmm

Originally posted by Lobo
First you say it's there by default (Yesterday) today. no, Hmmm

As usual..... what are you talking about? 2K & XP will default to certain settings but I prefer to hard code them by setting them with CableNut...... what is so difficult to understand about that?


You know what.... you have wasted more time and space on this forum arguing with me when there have been a number of people look for assistance with a problem, you have not addressed one of them........... so why are you even posting???????????

Are you guys on DSL or LSD????man, somebodys got a weird understanding of connection settings and effect.

I'm on Cable, Buffer sizes are determined by amount of RAM, Cablenut makes the entry visible, but it's their by default, just like Receive Window, you cannot see it until you download a patch, so

HeHe...i can get my speed up all over the place......."stability"....now thats another ball game!.....Merry Christmas

Merry X-mas to you too, what kind of problems are you having, people are using so many different things to remove unnecessary items from their registry, I hope they know what they are doing, What OS are you on?

Win,s-98,95,00 and xp......no probs....just cruzin.

To replace missing files in 95/98/SE go to Start button, Help, look for System File Checker

Win Xp, put XP CD in, type in run box sfc /scannow

Space between c and /

This replaces any missing files

Now.....why would i want to do that???? everythings runnin fine on all 3 puters???Tell me about "better"dsl modems

I'm on Cable, I don't know which is the best, I have a Webstar that CONcast gave me
