Run Command Prompt as Administrator. This will let you check your MTU for ipv4: Type: netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces If it isn't 1500MTU for your computer you can set it like this: netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1500 store=persistent Then check it again with the show command. If you have a wireless connection also you need to set the MTU for it also. @ Kiwegapawa I don't know what to do for your problem. I hope someone that does will post.

It was this post. It is in this thread.. I hadn't checked this forum used to show post numbers but it doesn't anymore. The commands I posted won't cause any problems or change any settings because they are just show commands. The netsh can do a lot of things so take care if you look up other commands for it.

Thanks. That works for me. I still liked when all that was needed was to scroll & look for a green light under the avatar on each post. Just easier.

Not to get political but I don't like Soros or Schumer. If you can make the Internet better more power to you. On a lighter note? Me at my first computer:

I never had a Tandy or a monitor back them. The Commodore 64 use a regular TV for a monitor. I still have this Commodore 64 & a single & dual 5 1/4 Floppy drives for it. I still play games on it sometimes. I like one called Death Sword. I know there are emulators & I tried one but it is different than playing on the Commodore 64. I remember the Pong games. The ones I remember were in arcades or bars. I remember a bar having a sit down model. The screen faced up on a table. I believe two players could play against each other on this machine. The IBM PL300 still has it's original hard drive with Windows 98 SE on it Pentium 3.. It worked the last time I booted it but that was about 2 years ago. It probably still works.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. My first real computer was an IBM 300PL . Try these commands in the Command Prompt for some fun. They won't harm anything, netsh int tcp show global netsh interface tcp show heuristics netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

Way back when viewing a post or topic there was an indicator that was light up that showed if a member was online. I know there is a list at the bottom of the Home page. I found the old way helpful So I suggest doing this.

For the Command Prompt if I just type help tracert isn't in the list. If you just type tracert & enter it gives the list of commands for tracert.. I hope this is OK with CA3LE . This is another test you might try: https://speedof.me/# It is a no flash HTML test.

First to Amanmd: I believe it is your security programs that are blocking the test from completing . An AV or firewall program. @ Kiwegapawa I don't know if this will help you but here is some information. The second hop is most likely Timed Out because I have ICMP blocked by my router. The next to last hop #6 I did a tracert to & it is LA California. 206.223.118.145 This is a tracert to :24.30.200.73 the # 10 hop in the tracert you posted done from my computer. C:\>tracert 24.30.200.73 Tracing route to 24.30.200.73 over a maximum of 30 hops 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 14 ms 9 ms 9 ms 173-219-226-228.suddenlink.net [173.219.226.228] 4 * * * Request timed out. 5 29 ms 33 ms 37 ms 66-76-104-34.suddenlink.net [66.76.104.34] 6 66 ms 67 ms 66 ms 66.109.5.120 7 73 ms 71 ms 71 ms bu-ether12.atldga10ds1-bcr00.tbone.rr.com [66.109.3.236] 8 69 ms 71 ms 71 ms bu-ether18.atlngamq46-bcr00.tbone.rr.com [66.109.6.40] 9 66 ms 79 ms 71 ms 0.ge-0-0-0.ar0.den30.tbone.rr.com [66.109.6.150] 10 68 ms 76 ms 76 ms 66.109.5.117 11 62 ms 58 ms 61 ms 24.30.200.73 The reason my hop times are bad is I have a slow connection speed. Also sorry for the small size font. I can't set it larger. Even the default size doesn't work. I believe this is caused by my hosts file & browser site blocking software. It is most likely the blocking of fonts.googleapis.com

What commands ? Just ping & tracert or some others ?

I'm assuming you are answering my question about the URLs. I don't want to interfere with your security. What program did you use the collect the URL information ? I already have the ones you posted in my hosts file. My hosts file is approximately 77,000 lines long. This includes spaces between categories so less than that amount of web site but not a lot less. C:\>tracert testmy.net Tracing route to testmy.net [104.26.5.115] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms (I removed my router login) 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 12 ms 10 ms 10 ms 173-219-226-228.suddenlink.net [173.219.226.228] 4 37 ms 29 ms 30 ms 173-219-233-250.suddenlink.net [173.219.233.250] 5 * 26 ms 25 ms 173-219-152-193.suddenlink.net [173.219.152.193] 6 45 ms 27 ms 39 ms 111100.dal.equinix.com [206.223.118.145] 7 25 ms 30 ms 35 ms 104.26.5.115 That's all.Shorter than yours & everything identified.

I can't tell are you blaming Google or TMN ? Or is this just a rant to get your message out. List the problem URLs. I may already have them blocked with my hosts file.

Howdy all. CA3LE got my old account back to working.. So A Howdy to Roco & any of the older members. To the new members too.

It's been a long time since I posted. The explanation is still the same so I just Quoted my original answer.

Blunted 2 ;Good to know Blunted 2 that makes sense.I haven't went to a HDTV yet.

AlmostHuman ;The problem is the Macrovision chip inside the unit.Unfortunatly there is not much you can do about it.But Google Macrovision to find some info on this. Some say this can be done with the right video card & another card like a video card called a video capture card.I think with this you go from the VHS to your HD then to your DVD from the HD.Then if the dvd format is the same on your PC as you DVD it should work.There is probably more to it like using Nero.I haven't tried to do this but I read some on it a whle back in case I did. I don't think there is any way to do it with your combo DVD recorder/VHS player .This would involve re-flashing the Macrovision chip.I have no idea how to do that.

tommie :You would have been welcome & if you made it by 10:00am I would have had time to put an extra sweet pototo in the oven for you.

I had mine dinner ready at 12:30 PM .I got the Turkey in the oven by 7:00am.So I'm about ready for the second round by now. May God bless just like He did the Pilgrims with the Native Americans.Who would have starved without them.Now that would have been a Thanksgiving table to set at.

I think the decision on this was dial-up was bandwidth taking the amount it was allowed just like any other type of bandwidth.& attempting to take all it is allowed.

Sparticus013 ;Finally another post in dial-up.I think a lot of the faster connections provide a dial-up account with their service..I think when they do it is included in the price for the faster connection.If it does your dial-up might be free.

MJFSOL;Even though I don't have XP I've made some posts about scannow you could search for here at testmy.They have some MS links.It might not be the best.Is there a way for you to extract explorer.exe from your disk & copy it to your Windows folder? You might see if you can get into safe mode.If you can search to see if you have an i386 folder .If you do it might have explorer.exe that in a cab file that you can extract to Windows folder. I have ME & can go to DOS to do this but Xp doesn't really have DOS.

Hi water ;I went to secondshifters & registered .I was going to give you a howdy there.But it wouldn't let me PM I guess no approval .I tried chat no luck there either.You just finished Frankenstein more my kind of music.So Rock On.

Roco ;I haven't had the time to search much for where the Alexa is in the ME install.But I mainly expect it's in the IE part of the ME install. Good on it being a water pump.Much easier than a head gasket. I actually haven't done any FIAT work but all the OHC engines are somewhat similar.I found out by experience several years ago on a Chevrolet LUV pickup.I think the engine was a Japanese Isuzu.It's OHC was driven by the long bicycle type timing chain.I bent the valves but about broke even on the job.You can't buy much with broke even though.I haven't had ZLOB is it possible it was left on the HD from before the install? Do you use an eraser type program on your HD or just format?I haven't used the one I got now for this but it looks like it might be very good.I used the IBM PC Doctor one last time.HD appeared very clean after. What I like about my latest one is it overwrites.With ability to let it do this several passes.It is also supposed to make a didk you have previously coppacted the data on able to be uncompacted so to speak.

Hi Roco;I guess the Alexa is put in by the IE5 already on the M/S M.E. disk.The reason I suspected the IE6 sp1 update was I had already removed the Alexa & when I insatlled IE6 sp1 update again new or selected repairr IE they were back.So now maybe I can find them in the original IE folder I guess it could be as far back as IE4. I think I posred it some where but if you want it I have MSDOS.SYS tweak for the way ME boots you might like.Also a fix for MS paint although not as necessary if not online. Also if your M.E. won't view the .doc files from the Word in your XP in word pad I have a fix for that. On the head gasket .Always a pain.You probably know this but if the Fiat is OHC be careful not to bend any valves when putting the head back on.One of the best ways to do this is make sure none of the pistons are TDC & the crank just needing to be moved a little up to TDC .Then have the cam in approxamatly the correct position.Adjust the cam to the correct position & then move the crank to TDC in the correct direction of it's rotation.Some motors can bend valves it turned in the wrong direction.
