lol, lobo. Just disable the tray icon if you don't like it. It uses just as much ram as any other anti-spyware program, I'm sure.

I still like Spybot Search & Destroy better than AdAware, tho, because their program is designed better and they release updates to the spyware definitions much more ...

HenryHand1

Oh, didn't notice they are different in those settings.

Thx.

I have a problem... my RWIN won't go above 64240. This has happened before, and I installed SG Optimizer and it resolved itself, but is there a patch to fix this?

HenryHand1

LOL.... that took less than a minute. Thx for the quick response.

Hi. I need some cablenut settings for my Comcast 1800/128 connection (yep, its 1800 -- not 1500 contrary to popular belief). I'm using Windows 2000 with 512MB of SDRAM and a 1.4GHz P4 processor.

SG Analyzer results are as follows:

I believe that Internet Explorer identifies itself as Mozilla 4.0 compatible because back when Netscape, based on the Mozilla rendering engine, was the dominating browser among web surfers, Microsoft wanted to trick netscape-only sites into thinking that IE was netscape, thereby letting IE users ...

The "Administrator" account and administrator privilages are two seperate things. Mnosteel was talking about giving your user account administrator privilages, and setting other user accounts with limited privilages.

To Do this...

Go to User Accounts, Click a User ...

Comcast (not pro) : 1800/128
Please note that the comcast cap is now 1800, not 1500.. Comcast has raised it.

HenryHand1

I dont think there is a tweak for that. The same thing used to happen to me when I had Windows Millennium.. IE would stop loading stuff for a few moments, then continue loading. I have no idea why, but it doesnt seem to happen now that I have XP.

HenryHand1

From what I have gathered in comcast forums on various sites, Comcast may slowly continue to raise the caps as they get the bugs out of their new network (it used to be part of @home, which had much higher caps), so the current caps might not stick for long.

They have OOL in every town in my area ...

HenryHand1

Actually, Comcast raised the download cap to 1800kbps. The upload cap remains the same.

My Speed Test on Comcast

HenryHand1

I apolegize for not replying sooner. Your settings are look fine (I thought maybe your RWIN was very high).

Try powering off your computer and modem for 2 minutes. Then turn the modem on and let it sync, then turn on your computer. This should make a fresh connection to your ISP. Run another test ...

HenryHand1

Run TCP/IP Analyzer and post your settings here.

Remember to cut out your ip info on top of the table.

79% Loss worries me.. even coming from DSLR.

HenryHand1

Judging by his name and location, I think he has Optimum Online -- the best cable ISP in my opinion. Their customers get 8MB/s and up for only about $25/month.... the next town over from me has it and here I am stuck with Comcast paying about twice as much for speeds 1/5th of that

HenryHand1

err... the site is reporting 100% losses because their server does not allow pings.

Try pinging http://www.optonline.com instead

In dos, you would type "Ping http://www.optonline.com -l 1460 -n 20" minus the quotes, ofcourse.

HenryHand1

The website or ip you used seems to be a very slow host. When I pinged it, I averaged 162ms -- I usually average 20-25ms. Try using another site such as speed guide or optonline.net .

HenryHand1

lol it must be 128 then. Thx for the suggestions.

HenryHand1

ok, all of those RWINs seem to improve my download speed when I'm downloading large files, and there is no packet loss at all. If they're all about the same, should I choose the largest one?

HenryHand1

That would explain it

... Tcp123 was 0 .

HenryHand1

I am not using any proxies that i'm aware of... but for whatever reason my RWIN wont go over 65535.. any idea why? Could this be because of the transparent comcast proxy server I've been hearing about?

HenryHand1

That was the speed test results from Speakeasy. The results come out on a DSLR page. And nowhere in my post did I mention the tweak test at all.... i noticed the packet loss actually from dos. I will try those suggestions.

HenryHand1

I just switched ISPs and I have my settings tweaked, but I would like suggestions from other ppl to get the most out of my connection.

I'm on comcast cable and capped at 1.5mbps down and 150up . My ping is very good... usually between 25-35ms and sometimes 20 or below at night. My important system ...

HenryHand1

okay how's this....

HenryHand1

Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections.

Click on the connection name you use to go online, and hit "Set Default". Then choose "Never Dial a Connection", unless ofcourse you connect to the internet through internet explorer. If you do, you might want to consider downloading RASPPPoE from http ...

HenryHand1

You still need to change your MTU to 1492. Otherwise the new settings are fine.

HenryHand1

HenryHand1

Ouch.. those speeds suck :eek: :eek: ... tooo bad.

Anyway, here's what you should do...

1. Change your MTU to 1492 (if you use PPPoE; you use software and enter in a username and password to 'dial into' the internet. You probably do.)

2. Change your RWIN to 37752

If you don't use PPPoE, please ...

HenryHand1

Take a speed test at: http://www.speakeasy.net/popfaq (choose a location). Report back with the results in kbps.

Here's a quote from the page you were using...

The modem speed test pages are designed for, and tested on, ordinary analogue dial-up modems, and ISDN modems. Results of tests for other ...

1.5 is slow compared to what users of many other cable ISPs get. Those caps almost make it a better idea to get DSL.

Take Optimum Online for example; I've seen people get as much as 8MB/second and over with that service. w0w.

That's probably not a good example, but how can comcast justify raising ...

HenryHand1

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 513920

Your RWIN is probably a little too high, but it might be ok. Go to http://www.dslreports.com/tweak and run the tweak test. Look at the middle column and see if there was packet loss, which I suspect there will be. Also, do you mean K/sec or kbps?

HenryHand1

Yes, restoring the way I said would have worked actually, but nevermind. Glad we could help.

HenryHand1

Kinda like what i posted above..

HenryHand1

Not to be rude, but didn't you look up at the address bar and see that the link went to "http://" :rolleyes: ? Copy and paste the link instead.

Nice test :)
I'm gonna to start using it.

Try using 74052 as your RWIN. I think it will work well with your connection, and you should also have alot less packet loss with it.

HenryHand1

The easiest way to do it is to go to Start > Run and type "Scanreg /restore" . Your tweaks will be removed, and your settings will go back to the win98 defaults.

Using cablenut's remove feature will only delete cablenut tweaks and changes you have made with that program.

HenryHand1

lol mrneedstweak

Once you get SG Optimizer installed, go here to calculate a good RWIN (tcp receive window) for your connection.

HenryHand1

Yep. You don't even have to back it up. You can just press a button within the program and all the tweaks you have made with cablenut will be removed.

I added onto my original post BTW ^_^

HenryHand1

It will work with XP, and it won't conflict with SG Optimizer beta, I don't think.

It is possible, however, that cablenut will overwrite your SG Optimizer settings if you open up cablenut analyzer after applying tweaks through SG Optimizer.
