I recently found myself engulfed in Rockstar INXS TV show.  Of course there are some times when I can't watch it so I visit the website.  Rockstar.msn.com  I want to watch some past weeks performances.  Before I started tweaking my machine the videos would load and I would watch.  I did something when I tweaked I don't know what.  I know I installed cablenut and I use VanBueran's premade file for 512/128 DSL 1460.  I am running windows XP pro w/ SP2 I have all of the updates for everypiece of hardware and software on my machine.  I still can't get the video's to play.


::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::
Connection is:: 565 Kbps about 0.6 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 69 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (server2)
Test Time:: Sat Aug 13 14:26:59 PDT 2005

That didn't seem to work for some reason

Thanks!!

wish i could help out more, but now your back to windows default TCP settings

what player do you use to watch those movies, make sure no firewall blocking that player

Edit: wait that ping is too high

RTT max:               378.9 ms

try powercycle modem/router leave it off for 30 full seconds and try again

that looks like default settings to me 

well the settings is not the issue here

you have a problem with latency

call your ISP and let them check modem signals

as suggested, use windows default settings atleast until your ISP resolved the problem

i dont know how to uninstall IE, but you might find that info on google.

open cablenut and make a screenshot of your settings
