Lobo! Why is these settings faster?

[ASi_TEK]

Hey Lobo,

I am using the settings you had gave me about 1 1/2 years ago when @Home was around and we were getting super fast speeds. I just yesterday used the values listed in cablenut (and that is given in every other post in this forum) that is recommend for 3500/384 for my PRO connection and it is SLOW. I takes forever! My Nic card is set to 10BaseT, IRQ8 Priority, no spyware, internet files cleaned, registry cleaned, 94% System Resources.

I change the setting back to the saved .CCS file (the old setting with the high Rwin of 531440) and its back to normal (very fast).

What do you think about this?

Would you post a screen shot of the old cablenut settings and a screen shot of the new? That would help explane what is going on.

I'm also a little curious myself in that the same thing happened to me a while back. It would be nice to get this cleared up,

These were my old values. All the other boxes where left blank.

BDSurgent 1

Below is the settings given to me on this forum, and it seems that everyone is using it. My connection was much slower with these settings, (I had to d/l the new cablenut program because I was using the older version).

There is absolutely no way that the settings I gave you lowered your speed as much as you say. What speeds do you get from the OOL FTP test with your old settings and what speeds do you get with the new settings?

[Lobo]

I still think larger RWIN's are better, maybe not on online tests but whatever works for you the best
