RR 5000/384 w/ CableNut Tweak No Difference?

« on: February 20, 2005, 09:06:28 AM »

Hi.

I just applied VanBurens cable tweak file and I got real close to the same results as I did before I applied it. Am I supposed to re-boot the machine? Not that I'm complaining about RR but every little bit helps. Very Happy

hey Ether and welcome to the forum

do you have SP1 or SP2, also, do you have a router, if so bypass it and see if things speed up

Hi VanBuren.

I have a Linksys 8 Port Switch fed from SW 2.0 +Fixes6. I disabled it all and went directly into this pc, thinking the switch and firewall was slowing me down. Then I ran those tests. 4.8 is good from an advertised 5 line speed, but I was just wishful thinking I guess. You know how that is. :haha:

Thanks for writing the tweak.

Edit: SP2

no problem

its almost impossible to find the right settings direct, the hardest is to fine tune TcpWindowSize so it fit all

if its too big you will drop packets and if its too small you will slow down

try this

open cablenut, change TcpWindowSize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowsize from 64240 to 256960

also change Tcp1323Opts from 0 to 1

now click save to registry and reboot

make a new speedtest both up and down, use the 2992 KB test down and 1496 KB up

It did increase my download just a bit, but with RR I'm stuck at 44kb upload. Also I noticed a slight lag when acessing websites with the new settings. Still, it helped.

Dude, how do you come up with these numbers? :haha:

i use this site alot www.dslnuts.com

read their tips and tricks page, that explain how to set some values

seems like you are maxed out, shooting 97% of cap and cos the increase was very low with using a large TCP windowSize

i suggest you go back and use the file as it was with a TcpWindowSize of 64240 for faster webrowsing

just reload the file and click save to registry
