Slow Upload After Networking.

[Rara]

I'm using Cox HSI. And I got a router to network the PCs and ever since they've been networked my download has been great but my upload is just pathetic it's not even close to the upload cap I was given. I am running Windows XP and I've tweaked the connection already and like I said it's only the upload that's slow.
The network is wireless and it's a d-link router.

first goto my computer network and make sure you have the network cards on 100tx full duplex with the router make sure you have the latest firmware also goto the tourter's ip page and see if there is an mtu setting if so change that to 1500 http://www.dlink.com should have the firmware. Alos you might wanna check netwoking help in my sig

[Rara]

I did everything you said expect changing the MTU thing because I don't know how to do that on the ip page for my router. I'm still having slow upload speeds though..

[mccoffee]

what's the model number on ur router ?

[Rara]

Dl-164+

[mccoffee]

ok goto 192.168.0.1 type in your username and password on the first screen type 1500 if on cable that's how u change mtu. ok in the tools misc
make sure you have block wan ping disabled that should do it

[Rara]

Ok I did the second part of what you said but I didn't get what you were saying on the first part.

[mccoffee]

look at the manual on page 14 where it saids ppoe hopefull you can change mtu to 1500 i know ur on cable if you can change mtu I got the manual downloaded it should be one first page on the router right after you login. clink on wan on the side of that page. should be there i hope u can change it.

[mccoffee]

if you cant chang that value try this goto start menu,run then type cmd then type ping 192.168.0.1 it will tel u mtu. it might already be set at 1500. hopefully

[Rara]

I updated the firmware and did a hard reset and now my upload is great, thank you for helping me

[mccoffee]

no promblem anytime.

Hey Mccoffee I got a question for you, what was that cmd thing you had him run up a few posts ago, and where's that RAM you were sending me

[mccoffee]

Ok, my upload problem isn't fixed I thought it was but it isn't still slow speeds.. can someone try and help me?

What kind of uploads are you getting? If your RWIN is really high it can adversly effect your upload. I don't know your current settings but I have Cox also try my settings in Cablenut and see if they help any:

DefaultReceiveWindow = 384000
DefaultSendWindow = 32768
DisableAddressSharing = 1
InitialLargeBufferCount = 100
InitialMediumBufferCount = 240
InitialSmallBufferCount = 320
LargeBufferSize = 81920
MaxFastTransmit = 64000
MediumBufferSize = 15040
PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 1280

FastSendDatagramThreshold = 4096
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1

TcpRecvSegmentSize = 1460
TcpSendSegmentSize = 1460
TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30
TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer = 0

MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 40
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 20
DefaultTTL = 64
DisableUserTOSSetting = 0
TcpMaxDataRetransmissions = 6
DefaultTOSValue = 92

Also make sure all the pc's connected to the router have thier NIC duplex mode set to 100mb full duplex and also try the my other suggestions in the Help & Tips link in my signature.

I have Cox as well, here are the speeds I am getting:
2002-08-20 11:44:25 EST: 2227 / 19
Your download speed : 2227200 bps, or 2227 kbps.
A 271.8 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 19132 bps, or 19 kbps.
Your upstream result was very slow! .. not good
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

[mnosteele52]

What settings are you using with those results?

[Rara]

DefaultReceiveWindow=385440
DefaultSendWindow=40960
InitialLargeBufferCount=1000
InitialMediumBufferCount=3000
InitialSmallBufferCount=5000
LargeBufferSize=409600
MaxFastTransmit= 64
with 481800 in MaxFastTransmit

Finish.
MediumBufferSize=150400

SmallBufferSize=16384
TransmitWorker=32
FastSendDatagramThreshold=8192

I just entered your stuff and I'm gona restart and test again.

[Rara]

Here's the results from the speed test after using your settings:
2002-08-20 14:28:22 EST: 1911 / 233
Your download speed : 1911137 bps, or 1911 kbps.
A 233.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 233972 bps, or 233 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Your upload looks allot better and your download is about the same. Your download will fluctuate from test to test so I wouldn't woryy too much about it, does it seem allot better? You might try raising your TcpReceiveWindow & GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize to 96360 or 128480, if you do remember to set Tcp1323Opts to 1.
