My cable is ...............

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 8:41 pm

Hi,
Okay, my problem is this.. Well, let me give you an example. I go into a Internet Online game (Rainbow Six), and I see the people there warping (moving around all over the place), and they didn't do that before. Before, is when I downloaded some type of tweak, I don't know what.

Also, I upload slower now, I don't know why.

Seems like there are things missing from my registry file.

I would like to just clear everything and make it seem like how it was when I first got my comp/cable modem.

I download slower, the websites take longer to retrieve, I don't know whats wrong.

If you can PLEASE email me back, thanks..

I don't think you have the Speedguide patch installed in my sig it says Speedguide Patches click on that and select the correct patch for your connection and os.

Ok i found the problem. You are going through a proxy server. This server is used by your isp to save money, but at the same time they are spying on you to see where you go on the web. The way a proxy server works is that it will cache pages viewd by other members. This way you don't have to send the request all the way to the website. To disable the Proxy server in Internet Explorer, go into Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings. Uncheck anything thats in there. If you are an @home user and installed the @home software Go into Start > Run and type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll

The reason your upload is slower because instead of going directly to where you wanna go it goes through the proxy server.

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:05 pm

Ok you now have the patch installed, and how is your speed?

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:08 pm

Still the same, pretty slow.

Should I install iSpeed?

I tunred the proxy server off.. I'm @home.

I don't like that Quest patch because it slows me down even more..................

Geesh.

If only I had a technition that was nice enough to come to my house and computer and try to fix it here!!!!!

can u help me anymore or what

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:12 pm

its weird

it takes slow to like.... load a website.. well ok. this is what i mean..

for example, i type in a website (mostly any one...)
and it takes 5 secs till it starts to load.
before it took like 1 not even.

and it loads, then stops for like 2-3 secs, then loads again
and pretty slow
much slower than usual

and I don't like that.

Kind of goes in tracks and frame loads and warps.. if u know what i mean.

oh boy.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:13 pm

if you can't help me anymore, do you think I should call @home... and have a guy come here?? I dunno!

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:14 pm

Have you used the tweak for faster loading of web pages? Click on the last link in my sig that says Speedguide Patches. Scroll down till you see the web patch and select the one for your os.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:14 pm

oh yah, do you think there is a way to completely clean out my registry of connection type things, for my cable and stuff?

i went on vacation and i just came home recently, and my dad said that the cable didn't work for about a month, and untill i came home.(all he had to do was renew ip, but he didnt know...etc)

before that it worked fine!

I just dont get it.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:15 pm

ya I downloaded all the tweaks for my OS and that I can have.

something else is wrong,

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:17 pm

What type of network card do you have? Also what type of modem card do you have?

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:22 pm

You could use THIS tweak. It helped both my uploads and downloads. Get the one for your system, os, and connection. good luck.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:23 pm

3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI for Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)

Hmm.. Modem Card..

this is under *Modem* in System Properties..

MDP3900V-U Modem

that might be for 56k dial up though

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:26 pm

What type of cable modem do you have. Not the dialup modem. And one more thing are you using usb to connect your cable modem to your pc?

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:28 pm

CyberSURFER Wave Motorola

usb to connect cable to pc? lol sorry I dunno

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:30 pm

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:34 pm

k i did.....

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:35 pm

is your speed any better? Can you tell me who your isp is, that may help me a little.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:45 pm

home.com....

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:47 pm

Did you restart your computer after you installed the patches?

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 9:55 pm

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 10:03 pm

Call @home and ask if they are having any problems with there network. Tell them that your using your dialup now and it is going faster

Power cycle your modem. Unplug it shut down your computer. wait about 20 seconds then plug the modem back in and turn on your computer.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 10:10 pm

Okay, I did. Hmm.... nothing new.

lol about saying i'm on dialup. hehe. im gonan do that probably. Whats POWER CYCLE my modem? they'll make it go faster? lol

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 10:28 pm

O m G!

my friend has @home and he said he uncapped it somehow. i download FROM HIM about 200k/sec..............

he says he uploads about 250/ksec max.

how the h!%!%...
well first i want to solve my problem than to look into this.

call @home and tell them its slow? have a guy come and check it out? tell them aboutht epower cycle i want faster thing?

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 10:32 pm

Have them send someone out to check the lines.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 10:39 pm

OKay, but hey...............

I remember, when I first got cable like in 1998, i had it downstairs in the living room.

now its in my room (for about 1 year) and sometimes it's been sucky.

they said that it's less good up here cuz i Dunno y.

they said It would be better if they had bigger and newer lines and a newer power box and a straight connection from my room to it and stuff.... (whatever all that means...)

hmm.. should I ask them to boost my @home cable up somehow? would it work? hmmmmmm

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 10:51 pm

There is way you could see up to a 500kbps speed improvement. I got my service about 4 years ago and was getting at the most 2mbps. Then about 4 months ago a dog chewed up my cable outside. so i called ATT and the guy came in about 2 hours and he replaced the cable outside and my speeds jumped up to 4mbps then i found this site and am now getting about 800KB on my file downloads. And gettting about 6-8mbps on dslreports.com speed test. Have them replace all of the cables in your house.

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 11:24 pm

Wait, are you saying since this site, you're download improved?

it was 2 and 4mb, and now it's 800k/sec?

You didn't mean that you downloaded 2/4/mb/sec right?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I should tell them to do everything best like fix cables and stuff and not download these tweaks?

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 11:35 pm

no have them put in new cables. Then come here and do the tweaks. With the old cables i was getting about 2mbps then the tech came and installed the new ones and was getting 4mbps. Then i came here did the tweaks and now i get above 6mbps

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sun Jul 22, 2001 12:13 am

what's your connection?
oh ya, when i went into @home/tools/netdiag this is what came up...
-------------------------------------------------------------

Registry Information:
TCP/IP Default Window Size: 372300
TCP/IP Default Window Size: 256960
TCP/IP Default TTL: 64
Tcp1323Opts: 1
Sackopts: 1

-------------------------------------------------------------

How come it has two TCP/IP Default Window Size?

Damnit, I want to clear everything out and be clean. Then re-download when the guy comes, ya know?

Did you Go into Start > Run and type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll

Decko · Post by **Decko** » Sun Jul 22, 2001 12:59 pm

It's the same, I did everything.

I don't think that these type of tweaks will help me.

What I think is that I need to call a specialist.. actually, I want a hole new modem, and a new comp.

(So everything will be fresh)

Should I ask for that?

Hmm... New wires for cable/house too?

xbit · Post by **xbit** » Sun Jul 22, 2001 1:25 pm

When @home comes tell them you need new cables and a new modem because you lose sync and get lots of packet loss. Thats what was happening to me and the tech put new lines and wanted to give me a cable modem but i told him i would buy my own. Your isp may not have the new cables. My provider att just recently got the RG6 about 6 months ago. The only way to get the tech to fix something is by lying to them, kinda sucks.
