someone please help me im new to this interrnet/computer stuff but have been using them for years lol., please dont use any technical terms because im a newbie on computers and fixing things. Any help would be appericated greatly.

no i have not tweaked any settings, and editited the post for the speed tests.. also what are all these numbers meaning and what are they doing? thx., Oh and lately  for the past  2 months of so my ping in games online has gone up dramatically from lets say an average of 45-50 to about 190-200 now, I dont know whats wrong i use to get low latency no matter what room i went into but now if i try to go in a low  averaged ping room i getr crappy numbers and its making me mad.

make a new traceroute

my guess it was temporary that 14   199 ms   142 ms   213 ms  dist-vlan22.dsr1-2.dllstx2.theplanet.com [70.85.
127.76]

got that high, sometimes nodes de prior ICMP traffic.

the rest of the route looks nice

also run this test, copy result URL here so we can see it

their recommendations is wrong, you should use a MTU of 1492 not 1500

open Dr.TCP, change MTU to 1492 for all adapters

also download cablenut 4.08 here http://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1013.0

download this file and unzip it to C:\Program\Cablenut

open cablenut adjuster

in top left corner click file, click load custom settings file, browse to the file you unzipped

dubbleclick on it and click save to registry

now reboot your pc

good luck

check this above my signature in my previous post * DSL PPPoE 3000 384.zip (0.23 KB - downloaded 0 times.)

click on that

unzip it to C:\Program\Cablenut

and choose that file

good luck
