not sure what to tweak now.

Post by UnitedWeStand »

here's the scoop.
I am currently using this PPPoE aDSL at home and out of the blue. my bandwidth doubled.
I don't know if my ISP has done this because of the competition and what not, I just don't know for sure.
but I often get page load errors.
I think its time to tweak something, just not sure as of yet.

Below is TCP/IP analyzer results.

TCP properties for IP = AMERITECH ()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
TCP options string = 020405ac01010402
MTU = 1492
MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.
MSS = 1452
MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for maximum throughput.
Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 31944
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 31944

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
63888 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1277.76 kbps (159.72 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 511.104 kbps (63.888 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 54 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 11100000

Precedence (priority) = 000 (routine)
Delay = 0 (normal delay)
Throughput = 0 (normal throughput)
Reliability = 1 (high reliability)
Cost = 1 (low cost)

I am not sure what my caps are, but, I am getting a average download of 158 kb/s
not sure about upload. I shall assume its 30 kb/s

does anyone know what I should do next..? don't be afraid to tell me what to do with comp. I have tried lots of things, but as of right now I am just not sure what to tweak now.
get it up, get it in, get it out, and don't mess up my hair!

sbc did upgrade there equipment and line speeds my guess is they switch to the 768 - 1500 down and the upstream got upgraded to 256-384 Try the following in cablenut

. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.

2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.

3. ALWAYS connect your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it is ISP dependent unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL (the instructions are in my Help & Tips link). If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

4. Clear your temporary internet files.

5. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 15 seconds.

6. Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot 1.2 http://beam.to/spybotsd & Ad Aware 6.0 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download to remove any spyware then install and update SpywareBlaster to stay spyware FREE. YOU MUST USE BOTH AD AWARE & SPYBOT TO ENSURE YOU ARE SPYWARE FREE SINCE ONE FINDS WHAT THE OTHER MISSES.

7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in Read1st link.

8. If you have Zone Alarm as a firewall uninstall it then visit Zonelabs.com for further instructions on removing it's left over junk.

9. Install Outpost Firewall http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost or Sygate Firewall http://www.sygate.com/, both have FREE and Pro versions and are heads above ZA.

10. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one IMMEDIATELY, AVG 6.0 http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php is an excellent FREE AV app.

11. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates.

not sure I understand "leave blank".
because there is currently numbers there.
it will be blank if I blank it out.
TcpRecvSegmentSize = 1460
TcpSendSegmentSize = 1460
that prolly something for cable rather than DSL PPPoE.
1452 is my MSS
as them settings are based on MSS.

please clarify.

all the rest of the stuff I do regularly..
I just get a little confused with the ccs file.
get it up, get it in, get it out, and don't mess up my hair!

First goto startmenu run type cmd type ipconfig/all where it saids dns server settings write them down

that probably something for cable rather than DSL PPPoE.
1452 is my MSS the page load errors are usually your dns but try this fix and the numbers you wrote down use for dns server

yep your right on that you want 1452 sorry been busy day the leave blank is due to 2k/xp has a self adjusting tcpip stack having a hard coded rwin could have adverse effects here read this https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... did=133280
