Newbie needs help...Please

Well I've never done this kind of stuff before, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. So read Lobo's help page several times so that I could do it right the first time.
Well here is what I did.

1. Backed up the reg.
2. installed CableNut
3. Installed Windows update For Vtcp386
4. Installed the @Home Speed Patch

Here what I get.

I tried to change my RWIN settings in CableNut Adjuster with the differant values that I had seen in other posts, but the changes never seem to be saved after rebooting, at least according to the Analyzer. Not sure what I'm doing! Help please!!!

Did you load a ccs file

Dakota455 · Post by **Dakota455** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 8:58 pm

Yes, It was the one for normal cable speeds.

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 9:03 pm

It said nothing about loading a ccs file on help thread, at bottom of adjuster, click on delete Cablenut tweaks, REBOOT, then RIGHT click on SG's patch where you unzipped it to, up to install or merge, LEFT click, reboot

Dakota455 · Post by **Dakota455** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 9:11 pm

I guess I read it in the CableNut help page.
Will do what you said and post later.

Dakota455 · Post by **Dakota455** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 9:26 pm

Ok, I hope I undrstood you, it was the @Home patch that I installed.

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 9:30 pm

That one is not the same as others so I guess just click on it and follow directions

Dakota455 · Post by **Dakota455** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 9:39 pm

I installed the @home patch, but which patch were you referring too? I,m really slow when it comes to this stuff and I need specifices.

In Cablenuts adjuster put a 1 in box that says Tcp1323Opts, save to registry at bottom, REBOOT, retest, repost

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 10:12 pm

This is a Cable or DSL connection isin't it, because if it's not, I know nothing about Satellite connections

Dakota455 · Post by **Dakota455** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 10:14 pm

Patch is in, what kind of connection is this

Dakota455 · Post by **Dakota455** » Tue Sep 04, 2001 10:24 pm

Anything else to do? Not that I,m complaining.

If you are using Download Accelerator or FlashGet as your current Download manager, then check my sig below. Like it said, it's Spyware free now with Ad Aware.

Is there a problem with the ccs ?
Just wondering

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Wed Sep 05, 2001 8:34 am

I don't know if there is problem or not, but this is SG and thats who's speed patch we use, or the one I use

Lobo · Post by **Lobo** » Wed Sep 05, 2001 8:35 am

All programs to not operate right with spyware removed

From Ad-Aware:
Q: What will happen to the program if I remove the spyware?
A: It depends on the program you are using. Some will continue to function, after you have removed the spyware, and others will stop functioning.
