Welcome to testmy.net!!

You are getting about the speed that you should. Usually 90% of your advertised speed is what you should expect. What have you done for tweeking so far??

Hey Lorne,  well ive done everything from changing the rwin, mtu and lots more.  I found these at a tweaking site.  I may have accidently changed some settings in the networking properties, this I think may have something to do with my current speed.  I just dont know what the default settings are.  Thanx....

Ahhh.... Yeah you have to make sure to back up your registry before you tweek just in case. Smile  Here is a link to some patches and a real good if not best optimizer i have used. I think one of these patches will set all your settings to where they should be. If it doesn't than you can try using the optimizer to do it. Just select your connection type and it will set all those settings to optimized settings so if you have something set wrong it will set it for you.
Let us know how it goes Very Happy

Hey Lorne,  I did a TCP analyzer report,  Do u mind checking it out and let me know if the settings are correct.

MTU = 1492
MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.
MSS = 1452
MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for maximum throughput.
 
Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 65535
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 65535

Note: Under Windows 9x, if you have RWIN set to any other value, and the Analyzer reports 65535 you might need to install the MS Vtcp386 fix.
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of Cool
255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
 63888 (MSS x 44)  
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2621.4 Kbps (327.675 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1048.56 Kbps (131.07 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = OFF
Time to live left = 57 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000

Everything looks good except this

Note: Under Windows 9x, if you have RWIN set to any other value, and the Analyzer reports 65535 you might need to install the MS Vtcp386 fix.
For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

Is 65535 what you have your RWIN set at?? You might want to try the fix it suggests. You can also try setting your RWIN to 64240 that number seems to work well for a lot of people. Very Happy

Hey Lorne,  I looked in the MSTCP folder and noticed that the receive window was set at 255552, I changed it to 64240 as u reccomended.  I did not see the MTU option in there? Where would I go to change the MTU and what would u reccomend changing it to. Thanx again......

You can try changing your MTU to 1500, i use the TCP Optimizer to change these settings, just makes things more convenient Smile

Good Luck!!
