I was thinking of reformating, but had hope that i am able to at least go into WINME to backup some files. Luckily had already do some some time back. Posting my request here to all those whom may have the BOOTMAGIC 7 bootup disk to be sent to lowbjk@singnet.com.sg. Thanks.

Hi Lobo and rmrucker,

Sorry for the late reply as I was caught up with work this weekend. I agreed with rmrucker, that WINME RWIN default setting is at 17520 as shown by the TCP/IP analyser in SG. As for TCPOptimser, under current settings, the RWIN is greyed out with the word DEFAULT in it, while ...

Lobo,

Apparently I have the older version of TCPOptimiser. But After installing and running the program to change my RWIN to different values, it still reads as below:

TCP options string = 020405b40103030001010402

MTU = 1500

Ok I am in ADSL connection which is capped at 256KB/s. Previously used TCPOptimiser at WIN98SE and values showed 256xxx. Maybe rmrucker is right, WINME default setting of RWIN is at 0, so should i adjust this value? Regarding the selection of adapters, previous, there is only 4 selection which are ...

I have recently updated my version of dialup. As such, all values were rewritten by the update. Using TCPOtimizer, i noticed that the current values read zero. Upon numerous try, I changed the value to 256xxx but upon restarting my system, the values still read zero but the TCP/IP Analyzer read as ...

That sounds like my connection type, by the way, anyway to check from the system or should I call my ISP.

my ISP only claims that I am on a unlimited access to the internet at ADSL 256/128. I needed to type in my user ID and password before I can access the internet. I guess that is a PPPoE type right? I am not so sure too......

According to my ISP, my connection to the internet is Singnet Broadband ADSL 256/128 kbps. I am using a SpeedStream 4060 modem and at initial, needed to type a user name and password before I can log on to the internet. So is my connnection PPPoE or normal? ok will change my MTU to 1500 ...

Determining your ISP's MTU

The "MaxMTU" value you should use in the Windows 9x Registry is actually limited by your ISP's MTU value, since all packets will be traveling through their servers. To determine the MTU of your ISP, try the following:
