Ok, I downloaded Internet Boost 99' yesterday, and I think it sped up my internet speed I think, I'm currently using a cable modem provided by Rogers@home, and I tried the "Tweak Test" and here's what I got:
TCP options string = 020405b4010303000101080a000000000000000001010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1448, which is less than MSS because of Timestamps, or other TCP/IP options used.
Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 8760
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 8760
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)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 350.4 kbps (43.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 140.16 kbps (17.52 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = OFF
Time to live left = 19 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = ON
Note: Timestamps add 12 bytes to the TCP header of each packet, reducing the space available for useful data.
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000
I am using Windows 98, I also noticed that the Time to Live dropped from my usual 51 to 19, is this a good thing? also do I need any upgrading or patching, or getting any tweaks, please let me know!
Thanks!
Need some serious help!

What OS (Operating System)
CPU size (Central Processing Unit)
What are your caps: up & down
Do you use proxy server
Thank you
I use Cable
Provider: Rogers@Home
OS: Windows 98
CPU Size: ? what? Pentum 2 350MHZ (pretty crappy)
Caps: ? I dont know, is there any way I can find out?
Prozy Server: No, I use automatically detect settings.
Thanks!

I read your post on other board and to put a dialup tweak on a cable hookup is a first for me, this test does not look good at all. I am going to leave you directions, I am going to send you somewhere else for speed patch as his is the only patch I know of that will take your registry back to default before appling his patch which is very good,
because I have no idea what that dialup patch added, do not backup registry until you apply Cablenuts sped, OK here goes:
Your on WIN 98 so all you need is 4.0 and vtcp386
First go to www.cablenut.com , click on software at top of page
Download 4.0 (Only users of WIN 95 and WIN ME need 4xx to 4.02 too along with 4.0 )
His patch will uninstall previous patchs
Install 4.0 (If running WIN 95 or WIN ME Install 4xx to 4.02 too)
Then on desktop click on cablenut 4.0
Click on ccs files
then click on cable, PPPoE or DSL
Select either normal cable or fast cable (See instructions)
this will enter settings
click on save to registry at bottom, reboot or it will not work.
(NOTE) If you are running WIN 98 or SE, you need to download and install Vtcp386 for patch for 4.0 to work.
If you decide to remove Cablenut's patch, use uninstaller in Cablenut 4.0 folder on desktop. This will take you back to Windows default.
Retest and repost so I can see if patch is in Copy all this by highlighting everything in box with mouse
(you may have to make box smaller. To copy contents of box, highlight, then hit Ctrl & c, on your keyboard, when you return to Speedguide in reply box, with cursor blinking, hit Ctrl & v, this will copy contents in box so I may look at it. Thank you.
Click on Cablenut 4.0 on desktop, RIGHT click on adjuster and select short cut to desktop, the same with Reboot.
CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES
Would not be bad idea to bookmark this page so you can return for updates or reading.
This is a must unless you the future in want to format because you did not do it, please do this. First bring up REGEDIT, type REGEDIT in your run box and hit OK.
Under Registry at the top of the box, click on that, now click on Export Registry File, a box will come up asking where you want to export it to, just put it in your C drive, then name it at the bottem of box Default Registry plus date. Click on ALL at the bottom so it copies all of your registry.
Click on save. Do not update this copy, update copy 2.
Now if you ever get in trouble or want the old regestry back, bring REGEDIT back up and click on Registry and click on import registry file, go to your C drive and click on registry and click open, reboot and your good to go.
Anytime you add a new program, backup again, any program, back it up to the same place as the last one, it will overwrite it. If you do not backup after each new program is instaled you will not have those setting's in regestry if you have to backup for some reason.
Do this 2 times, one to save as default, the other to update as neccessary
Do nothing else in this box as it is the heart of your computer, just what it says above and no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to main page this site, select patches on left side of page,
go down until you see Web Patch - faster loading of Web Pages
Select the one for your OS, and download.
To install, click on what you just downloaded-unzip to program files, go there and click on it, click yes and reboot, your done.
How do do speed test
1. The best time is early in the morning (3 AM - 6 AM)
2. Make sure defrag has been run so no files are fragmented
3. Delete Temp internet files, not while testing, but after each test. IE browser, click tools, internet options, click on delete files and no this will not harm system, just get rid of temp files
4. Go to a fast server such as www.happypuppy.com and click on 10 demos, select a LARGE file to download (not all of it , just most of it, before you click cancel) this will show you how fast you are downloading, it's not going to be quick except except early in morning when not many people on net. I recommend you go to www.analogX.com and download Net State live, run this while downloading as it will give you avg of your download speed, really all you need on Net Stat is incoming data, incoming totals and Local machine, right click on Net Stat anywhere, stactics and check these 3 items, the rest need not be checked unless you want them, all you care about is average.
Put system defrag in scheduled tasks to run everyday.
5. Probably the most important, nothing can be running during test, no firewalls, no virus stuff, no ICQ, no AIM (some of you may have to go into BIOS to disable virus scanner, nothing running except Net Stat live
Scheduled tasks will run disk defrag, 98 & SE in Taskbar, WIN ME in control panel
The people who want speed surfing or doing whatever must close all other programs.
Or if you wish you may go to www.testmyspeed.com and do one of the online tests, these vary to much for me but you may like them. Another one is at www.dslreports.com/tools
Looks like alot but it's not, I print it for future reference.

Ok Lobo, here's what I got after I installed CableNut 4.0 and installed the vtcp.386 patch, and uninstalled Internet Boost 99'

No matter what you may think please do this:
To get rid of @home proxy server do this
Start, Run, and type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll
This will disable proxy server.
In control panel, internet options, connecions, LAN settings,
take check mark out of ALL boxes (yes auto detect too)
Reboot. You donot have to do this if you have no, I mean none of @homes software on your pooter, if you had it on there and just deleted it, you must do this, nothing checked in this box, auto detect too!!!!!

Thanks for the help man, I dont have any @home software installed, I dont need it, its a waste of space and I have a question what does the Time To Live actually mean, and whats Caps?
