Ah you using DW, i have no tweaks for satellite

So uninstall the tweaks that you have with cablenut by opening adjuster and click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry and reboot.

Now search here http://www.dslreport...m/faq/satellite

and here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/sat

for a good setup

We have a few ppl here that use DW, try the DW forum here aswell

thankx

That's not bad for DW.

If you want to get into online gaming, satellite really isn't the way to go. The time it takes for the signal to travel back and forth to the satellite is just way to long to get any reasonable ping times.

snail boy,
Welcome to the site, as you have been told a sat connection is not really the way to go for gaming, although this may be your only option....but you do have what is normal for your type of connection....good luck hope you enjoy the site and tell your friends...
