Nope not a single tweak after that 

Hmmm I don't know how to insert a picture here, unless i have to upload it somewhere first and then insert a link

But everything is blank except

Enable DNS = 0
Lanabase = 0
LocalcopyMade = 1

Ok I have loaded that file and applied it to cablebut and did a re-rest

Well Well Well,lol .... seems like there is no more re-transmirs . just wish i could hit my 5.1meg download rate, but I guess there is nothing that can be done cause of Win98se

no problem

i think its looking good now, i think packets out of order is out of our control and no big deal, since you got the speed

happy surfing
