Some interesting issues here... a few questions:

- Lobo... you explain how to calculate Latencey (spelling?) and you indicate that it is "The most important variable when calculating RWIN" and that we should use the Latencey value to calculate the RWIN... how do we use that value... i.e. if I ...

AbBys,

In XPpro bring up the Network Connections screen and then click on the "Advanced" menu item and then "Advanced Settings".
This then allows you to bind or unbind your services (e.g. File & Printer sharing) from your protocol (TCP/IP or Netbui). I am not sure why they put it there and not in ...

As I stated earlier... my tech knowledge is limited... can someone explain the last posts...

Well BlackSword... I took your advice and asked Nexland... here is the text:

Subject Does WaveBase support NETBUI protocol?
Apr 11, 2002 4:02 PM

Description I have set up my LAN with the WaveBase and I would like to limit the exposure my network has by binding the File & Printer sharing service ...

Okay... here is the scoop... I have verified this several times and the NETBUI File & Printer Sharing will not work on my setup!! I can only see the other computer if I have bound TCP/IP to the File & Printer Sharing service... the NETBUI protocol seems to be totally ignored!! Furthermore, if I ...

An Update...

I was not able to print over the LAN using Win98se on the laptop (wireless) and the desktop using WinXP... so I loaded WinXP on the laptop and now I can print on that printer... :)

However, I tried to use the NETBUI protocol for printer and file sharing but with no success! I ...

I guess I asked too many questions!!

I would still appreciate some thoughts on those questions...

Another question... would it make sense to disconnect the router and try the Analyzer on the PC's connected to the net via the DSL modem??

twwabw - Probably should know this... but what do you mean by PM's??

Rings890... I am curious... did you get it to work?? I have a similar problem with a desktop running XPh and a laptop running Win98se... they are both connected to my LAN through a router (WaveBase)... the laptop is connected via a wireless card.
My Lexmark X73 is connected to the desktop via the ...

No, it cannot print from a laptop running Win98se with a wireless card linked to the router (Nexland's WaveBase unit). I can share files with the desktop XPh but I cannot print!!

Prints perfectly well from that pc... I also set up a 2nd laptop (on Win2k) and hooked it to the router via an ethernet cable... I was able to print with this unit!!

Thanks for the clarification on NETBUI vs. TCP/IP... I have shared the printer (which is hooked up to the XPh unit via USB) and when I setup a printer on the laptop (win98) I choose Network Printer and the I am led to a screen asking for network path or queue name... browsing here finds the printer ...

I am running a home network with a router (WaveBase) and 1 desktop on Win XPh and a laptop on Win98se (wireless connection).

All is running well except print sharing!! I note that my laptop has TCP/IP protocol and not NETBUI setup... (if I install NETBUI it gives me a protocol for each of the ...

Okay... I changed the Tcp1323Opts value on the main puter to 1... at the same time I downloaded the SG Optimizer and ran it on both pc's... interestingly this program does something behind the scenes such that the Analyzer now shows an RWIN value equal to what is the registry!! (just uninstalled ...

By the main puter... I assume that you mean the desktop connected to the router... (see my setup description in first post)... this puter is running Win Xp and shows a value of 3 for Tcp1323Opts!! I am not sure why this would have any impact given that my connection is going through the router!! Do ...

I checked and Tcp1323Opts is set to 1 in the registry...

Any other thoughts?

The more I dig into the more I learn... but it is a journey...

I now see that the IP address returned by the Analyzer is not mine! It appears to be that of a server of my high speed service provider... I did what was suggested on the Analyzer FAQ page and used winipcfg to find my IP address... I ...

I now understand that the router does control the MTU value and that it should stay at 1472 (I tried to raise this to 1492 and was told that I could not!!). Having said that does that mean that my abilities to tweak the DSL connection have to be done on the router? Or can I still make changes to the ...

First off... I am fairly new to LAN's and the tweaking business... let me describe what I have setup and what my issues are:

Setup:
- Nexland WaveBase unit, connected to the Internet via DSL (PPPoE);
- desktop PC on Win XP connected to the WaveBase via an ethernet cablecto LAN port #1;
- laptop ...
