http://firebird.ccs.ornl.gov:7123/

It referes to several things that other tests,tweaks don't mention. Could anyone,after running it, please discuss,or explain some of the things that are brought up in this test?(buffer size,what it pertains to ,can ...

So if I understand, I should do as you say above, prior to making any registry changes. Before doing so I should 'export' it to somewhere I feel it's safe.
Later (after doing the above,), if I find that the 'tweaks' or 'patches' I've used have have made things worse instead of better. At this point ...

I've tried to seach ,but was unable to find in these pages. What is the best way to back up the registry before making any changes???? I've seen "REGEDIT" as well as "SCANREGW" as ways to make backups to the registry.
Which is the 'proper' or best one to use if I'm planning to download a 'patch' or ...

On the 'TCP Receive Window' setting - do I try the numbers you provided; (36500/46720/55480/74460/112420/186880) from the lowest number on up, to find which provides the optimum speed ??
Again, thanks for the help

I just relocated from having Bellsouth DSL in Fla. to San Dirgo and hooking up to Cox. I used to get about 1.5 mbps speeds from my DSL connect in Fla.

Through Cox Cable,I'm getting at least twice the speed.(about 3-4 mbps) with the previous DSL tweaks I did made while using DSL sevice.

Is it ...

I had to re-set my registry after my machine started acting up.
Should I go back and try all those patches again or should I set it to 64240,the lowest setting mentioned without the patches?
Also, I have a 'bridged' DHCP connection(at least that's what the bellsouth tech said).Should that figure ...

Thanbks again,Brent

I'm sorry but ,as you can probably tell ,I'm new to all this tweaking and patches. What are the steps I should follow?(I have W/98 with a bridged connection if that makes any difference)
First you said I should download the sguide_tweak_98_ME tweak.
Now you mention the above including downloading ...

I don't have a cable connection ,I have a DSL service through Bellsouth with a 'bridged connection' if that makes a difference.All the 'tweaks

Here is a copy of the tesat you suggested.I use W/98 and have a bridged connection .As far as the "obtain IP address automatically" it is checked, but it has always been that way.

After adjusting my RWIN settings, I finally got speeds that were as good as I've ever been able to get(1200-1270kbps)for the past 3 months. However, over the past 2 weeks, my speeds have dropped by about 20-25

I have a DHCP bridged connection via ADSL service w/Bellsouth. Does this make any difference???
Again, thanks

bertski

so ,should I use the 'drtcp' to put in the suggested 64240 and leave all other settings the same??

And again, i have an ADSL connection and use W/98
Again, thanks for all the help.

bertski

I set my ADSL RWIN setting lower due to a board on DSL Reports.In looking at this guide, it suggested that my current setting, 30,660 may be way to low.On this site it suggested that the lowest setting I should use should be 64,240 more than twice what I have now and up to 513,920.What to do???

MTU ...

bertski

What RWIN setting would you suggest I try???
Your help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,brentski

What would you suggest I try re-setting the RWIN to?? I use Drtcp to adjust it.

I have a P-II 350 PC and have DHCP bridged connection. So ,what should I do, leave as is or change it to the much higher settings recommended here?

I recently lowered my RWIN setting to 30660. After running this test, it seems that maybe I should increase it by A LOT(513920 on the high end and 64240 on the low end)Both are at least double my current setting.Is this correct and what would be the suggested RWIN setting??I have W98, ADSL ...
