newbie help :)

Post by Chris44 »

Hello im new, I dont want to be a bother but i want really fast speed i have 1mbit broadband im behing a router can n e one help me , My results are this


TCP properties for IP = xx.xxx.x.x (inktomi4-not.server.ntl.com)
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Note: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.


TCP options string = 020405b401010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240

RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2569.6 kbps (321.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1027.84 kbps (128.48 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 119 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000

http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest see what ya get with these if ya havent done any yet

NOTE the top one let it got till its about 50 to 60 percent done and see what your speed is at that time then ya can cancel it

ok on the bandwidthplace one k which one was itthe top or the middle ??
EG.

Communications

2.2 megabits per second AKA.2200kbps
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

273.8 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file download

3.7 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.


and your speed it 1.megabit correct Ill help ya

ok give this a shot and see if it works go to mnosteeles my tips
https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... adid=73799
Then do like he says with the spy ware and the add ware then get cable nut and the upgrade in the upgrade use the css that is your os and closest to your connection speed save it to registry reboot and re try the tests to see if ya got better.
doesn't take that long and dont forget to empty your temporarie internet files and your cookies before each test
let me know if ya get into a bind and of course how it turns out

(me I use the css that is one setting higher than what my caps are and it seems to work the best for me)

I am sorry but the process is maybe a little to complicated for you cause i am unable to top his explanation na dya need to not worry about kazaa or any other file programs bandwidth ya need to get your computer upto optimal using the tools and sites for testing and one of those tool is to know what your isp caps are and to run some of the speed tests to see if ya may be at full speed with the file transfer priograms ya may have real good download but ya can only download as fast as the other person is uploading it to ya

Chris44 do the following:

Download the TCP Optimizer and try the following settings.

Settings tab:

select - cable modem
check - custom settings
network adapter selection - your NIC
check modify all adapters
maxmtu - 1500
TTL - 62
TCP Receive Window - 17520 or 32120 (try both)
MTU Discovery - yes
Black Hole Detect - no
Selective Acks - yes
Max Dup ACKs - 3
TCP 1323 Options - uncheck both boxes

Other Settings tab:

Max Connections per Server - 8
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 10
Lan Browsing Speedup - optimized

Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect.

VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THE FOLLOWING

1. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.

2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.

3. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it is ISP dependent unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL (the instructions are in my Help & Tips link). If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

4. Clear your temporary internet files.

5. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 15 seconds.

6. Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot 1.2 & Ad Aware 6.0 to remove any spyware then install and update SpywareBlaster 1.2 to stay spyware FREE. It is an ABSOLUTE MUST that you use BOTH Ad Aware 6.0 & SpyBot 1.2, don't think you are safe with just one of these apps since one will find what the other misses.

7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in my Help & Tips link.

:cool: :D

Then leave your settings exactly as they are when you donwloaded that file, that is over 90% of your caps and you won't get any better. :)

Your friend or you is confused :( . When you download a file it is shown in kilobytes per second but your speed is advertised from your ISP in kilobits per second. There are 8 bits in 1 byte, in other words if you are dowloading at 120 kilobytes per second then that equals 960 kilobits per second and your caps are 1000 kilobits per second...... that is ALL you are going to get and that is great..... as I said you are tweaked perfect, leave things alone. :)

1000kilobits = 125 kilobytes
512kilobits = 64 kilobytes

Connections are advertised as kilobits per second, IE shows your download in kilobytes per second. Sooooo, if you are getting 120kB/s, then you are getting 960kbps. Very good speeds for a 1mbit connection.

Your friend is an idiot, he cannot get speeds that fast with a 512. He is either mistaken on his connection speed or on how to read it.
