Hey , I guess I should be more worried about P2P and MIRC not connecting because of an unknown proxy but I have a situation i'm not sure how to tweak correctly.

https://www.speedguide.net/forums/ ... did=132837 <--- My problems with a 'proxy'

I have done the Default registry patch.

TCP properties for IP = 66.XXXXXX ()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
Your IP (MY IP) appears to be behind a web proxy server (SOME OTHER IP 66) and results shown might not be for your system.

TCP options string = 020405b401010402010303000101080a4571d70400000000
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1448, which is less than MSS because of Timestamps, or other TCP/IP options used.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 17520
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 17520

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)
64240 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 700.8 kbps (87.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 280.32 kbps (35.04 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 58 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) =
Timestamps (RFC1323) = ON
Note: Timestamps add 12 bytes to the TCP header of each packet, reducing the space available for useful data.

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000

Now I'm going to have a D-Link wireless router to a lap top, I'm not sure how to tweak so that this will work out. I have 2 questions:

1. How do I fix this proxy so my MIRC and P2P will work? Even behind the router?

2. What should my cable nut settings be so that I can have optimal performance on Rogers cable? My current untweaked settings get me 600/200 max.

You can't tweak with a proxy on in internet explorer goto tools internet options, connections make sure nothing is checked.

Nope, nothing is checked.

I'm getting some wierd speeds, 700/380, I chose the 2000/128 one for my rogers hi speed and but I would rather have a higher down than up. Which one should I pick?

It appears you have installed a proxy server app. Do you use any ad blocking apps or other "internet accelerators"?

No internet acclerators like DAP I don't think... But I have google toolbar for a long time.

Bump, any help on connecting me to MSN or P2P?
