t1wireless :Modulation : V.34 This is the modem going back because it can't connect at V.90 .Several things cause this.Have you read the sticky's in all dial-up? ROM-DOS is better with tweaking XP but disabling the compression,Error control,& flow control slowed me down when I tried that so test both ways.Some modems even software internal modems work better with hardware flow control some don't you can try this .It may not connect this way if it does test. My V.92 is a different brand but if the settings on yours let you turn off the V.92 features most ISP,s don't support this & this will help connect at V.90. Your distance may be the limiting factor. You can try these 2 settings in your modems "Extra settings"( I haven't searched for your specific modem so they may not help try the one at a time.): S36=7 Attempt V.42 Alternate Protocol (MNP 2-4 compatible). Fall back to standard asynchronous (direct mode) connection with automatic speed buffering (ASB S91=15 Set the transmit level in -dBm Range: 0 - 15 (-dBm) I haven't done modem"shotgunning" with 56k modems or ISDN so I don't know . If you know where your modem settings are in your registry post them. Set the Maximum modem speed at 115200 or 230400 if you have it.It won't connect at this speed but it tells the modem to attempt to connect at maximum speed too.Also you usually need W2 or W3 in the main modem init string so it reports DCE connect speed.

Go to the Forum pageat the bottom under users online it shows the number guests,number members in blue (on my PC anyway).Click on that like its a link. It will take you to the same page as this link: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=who

boywonder :The higher speed is probably just less network congestion at the time.Do you clear your cache before each test?At your distance from the CO 39K is a pretty good average.Main thing with the new wiring how is web performance other than speed testing?

boywonder : Well how is it working? Mine is only about 30ft from the NID to the wall jack.Then about another 10ft to the Surge protector then 1 ft to Modem.Mines all CAT3 22 guage this is what I made the cable from the jack to surge protector from & the one from the surge protector to the modem too.So none of the cheap line that comes with telephones & modems.

FGOKURULES; I wasn't putting down your TV .I was just saying you need to find the right device to plug into it.Do you know if your DVD's YCbCr will input into another TV's YCbCr port? Do you have a manual for your TV or can you find an online one? Maybe it could tell you the problem. Is there a setting on the TV menu that you need to change? My TV is a regular TV but it has a large on screen menu.

FGOKURULES : I don't know but what ever does has to be compatable with your TV.Apparently your DVD isn't.The reason I think this is happening is one of the ports is not what it says it is.You are not the problem the manufacturers of either the TV or DVD are & I don't know which. If they are new enough go to where you bought them & have them demonstrat on a same or simular model.I guess one of them could be defective but that wouldn't be my first thought .

StreetRacerRicehunter;I hope this helps .You could try " sfc /scannow " without the quotation marks at the C:Windows> prompt. If that doesn't work type cd hit enter & try sfc /scannow hit enter if neither of these work try fixmbr at both prompts.To change back to the other prompt type cdwindows You may have to install recovery console if you need to do that you will have to read the links.This is just some of the information from the links you might have to read all of some of them. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321305 a new link about administrater passwords. 1.

DMN;Your speed looked good on the test.It showed thw your MSS is 1360 so your MTU is 1400.Thats what speedguide's tcpip analyzer found so I guess thats what you have. DMN if you tried the tweaks to your registry from earlier in the topic & these didn't change you MTU or MSS then I guess it is being done by Compuserve & probably not much you can do.A call to their tech staff to ask would be the way to know for sure.If it isn't their equipment do you run through a router? ROM-DOS ;Your MSS is 1460 so your MTUis 1500 but you already knew that.

The TV is accepting the analog transmission from the DVD but not the digital transmission.This is either because the TV isn't designed to receive the signal or the DVD isn't transmitting the right signal.

PPPoE stands for point to point protocol over ethernet. ... PPPoA is PPP over ATM.. http://www.dslreports.com/information/kb/PPPoA

DMN:I read this its indicates that AOL & Compuserve use MTU 1500 in their software.Speedguide Shows it at 1400 so I don't know. The information in the link was all for Windows 95.98 & 98SE. Do the test at this site .It doesn't give MTU but after the test select "more details" there is a maxmss check what it says add 40 that should be your MTU.Just incase Speedguide is reading your MTU wrong. http://speedtest.umflint.edu/ btw you need java for the test to work.

boywonder ;I made a few edits to the post & picture above.I opened my own NID which is slightly different than the one pictured.It is like mine is wired now. The ATY11 only works on some modems.No big deal it doesn't work on mine either. The other commands give more information that you can get good interpretations for.At least a lot of them.I will look for some more info on the I had already read the information in the link. About the Surge Protecter I have connected to my modem without it & it didn't make any difference at least for me.So I use it for the protection it should have anyway.I haven't looked for one that isn't for electric too but I bet one is availabe for the Modem(phoneline) only . A/D's on this loop A/D conversion Analog to Digital conversion Multiple A/D Conversions prevent v.90 connections The phone line going from the modem is analog until it terminates into the phone company's central office (CO) or digital loop carrier (DLC). If there is more than one analog to digital (A/D) conversion present on the line (see below), you will not get v.90 connection speeds; instead, you will get v.34 connection speeds. More than one A/D conversion on the line can be attributable to: Old equipment Some older switches may cause an additional analog to digital conversion. Pads Pads may be used on the line to make voice communication the same volume both ends during a telephone conversation. An analog pad introduces additional A/D conversion. There are also digital pads which do not affect the connection speed. SLCs If your home (or office) is attached to the Telco Central Office (CO) using a non-integraded/universal DLC, also known as an "SLC", you will have more than one analog to digital conversion. If, on the other hand, the SLC is directly integrated into the digital telco switch, you should get a v.90 connection unless the options or timing are not correctly configured by the Telco which would result in poor throughput and unreliable connections.

A72CUTLAS; Some of this may be helpful I find some conflicts of information on this .So I guess you need to try it both ways if you are having problems setting the MTU. EnablePMTUDiscovery When set to 1 (True), TCP attempts to discover MTU automatically over the path to a remote host. Setting this parameter to 0 causes MTU to default to 576 which reduces overall performance over high speed connections. OR Setting MTU overrides the default MTU for the network interface it is added to. Note that if EnablePMTUDiscovery is set to 1, TCP will use the smaller value of this local MTU and the "Discovered" MTU of the underlying network connection. If you'd rather use only the MTU value specified here, you'd have to disable PMTUDiscovery, which would prevent your system from detecting the network MTU. The above information seems to conflict. HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters EnablePMTUDiscovery="1" (DWORD - boolean, valid settings are 0-->False and 1-->True. Many connections perform better with this entry at 1, however, if you prefer to set your upstream to send fixed 1500 packets, you might want to use 0 instead). When set at 1, establishing connections and initial transfer speed might slow down a bit, however you will get better throughput if somewhere in the path large packets need to be fragmented. To modify the PPPoE MTU size, create the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesNdiswan ParametersProtocols0 Then add the following registry entries.Entry name Data type Value data ProtocolType REG_DWORD 0x00000800 PPPProtocolType REG_DWORD 0x00000021 ProtocolMTU REG_DWORD the appropriate MTU size (in decimal) To do this: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesNdiswan Parameters 3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key. 4. Type Protocols, and then press ENTER. 5. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key. 6. Type 0, and then press ENTER. 7. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 8. Type ProtocolType, and then press ENTER. 9. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 10. Type 800, and then click OK. 11. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 12. Type PPPProtocolType, and then press ENTER. 13. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 14. Type 21, and then click OK. 15. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. 16. Type ProtocolMTU, and then press ENTER. 17. On the Edit menu, click Modify. 18.

I posted a topic a while back on MTU.Windows ME uses ping www.testmy.net -f -l 1472. The ping -f -l 1454 www.testmy.net is for XP & some others. The MTU - 28 is correct but if you set you MTU at 1500 then 1472 should not fragment 1473 should.This means 1500 is the correct MTU for this connection. So you need to set the MTU at 1500 to start with so iff it is supposed to be at 1500 it will not fragment at 1472 but will at 1473.Then if it does fragment at 1472 you need to keep going lower until it doesn't fragment.When it no longer fragments take that number & add 28. Take PPPoE DSL for example its MTU should be 1492. Try ping -f -l 1464 www.testmy.net for this it should not fragment. I have read some XP sets PPPoE DSL MTU at1480 if this is your case then Try ping -f -l 1452 www.testmy.net for this it should not fragment. I think you can change XPs registry so it doesn't have to use 1480 for PPPoE DSL .

I think mostly you would need the updated drivers.The RAM might be a problem I don't think 95 will handle that much.

boywonder ;The cable I have runs Strait from the NID to a standard module phone jack on the wall with cat3.Then I made a cat3 cable with the regular phone cable plug ins.this runs from the wall to my surge protector (My surge protector has a place to plug in the phone cable as well as electric 115v grounded plugs)From the surge protector I have another phone cable made from cat3 That runs to my internal modem. I'm not sure what this would do Com01Irq04=115200 .The tweak for Com03Irqbuffer= 8760 and added Com03Irq18=115200 are to prioritize the COM to the modem.I use CAPS for COM & IRQ & also begin Buffer with a CAP.COM3 should be your modem COM if it is not you should use the COM port your modem is on for the COM in the tweak. On the NID mine has a regular modular line plug inside this is plugged in.It runs to the phone cables that run from the NID into the house.This is so you can unplug it & test a phone plugged directly in the NID.Thats why the phone company has it there.It is where you plug your PC in when connecting direct to the NID for testing.But you can't leave it that way because it disconnects the house phones.Some older NIDs are not wired this way.If you have one of the old ones complain to your phone company that you are getting line noise on your phones.They should come out & replace the NID.The reason for the complaint is they don't usually charge a service call for this.Keep in mind they really don't care about your PC & if line noise is affecting it. Below is a picture of an NID & how my cable to the phone jack to my PC is wired. Also a surge protecter simular to mine & some modular plugs to clarify what I mean.

I have CAT3 from my NID but Cat5 is about the same it just has better shielding .You are only going to be using 2 of the wires in most cases antway.Just make sure they are the same pair this is easy they should be the same color one with a white stripe.Run these from the NID to your module(jack) & Make a cable from there to your PC out of the CAT 5 too.You have to strip the cable a little futher back & make sure the right wires go in the right place in the module plug.A easy hint for doing this is just do it like a phone cable plugged into a regular phone cable the plugs should be opposite meaning looked at from the same side the wire colors are opposite. There are even CAT 6 & maybe CAT 7 by now but these shouldn't be necessary.When you run the wire from the NID try to get it a short as possible but avoid running it over florescent fixtures if possible the transformers in these can cause interference or line noise. I used a direct hook up to my NID meaning it doesn't run through the plug inside the NID that goes to the phones in the house.So if that plug is unplugged the PC isn't.I'm not sure what the phone company thinks about this .The Green wire should be the negative & the Red wire the positive.If you have a Multimeter(Volt meter) Ground to positive is approx 48 volts DC & Ground to negative approx 2.8 volts DC.Pretty low amps on phone cable unless lightening strikes while you are working on them.Anyway one of the regular phone wires run to the ground you will be able to tell when you open the NID.Usually a green wire.The other wire is the hot one usually red.If you have more than one telephone number the there are more wires connected.So if this is the case you need to determine which number(wires) you use for your PC.I hope I didn't over explain.

Maybe IE4 has a problem with this it has been showing up on the first testmy page for a few days. "Notice: SSI.php was unable to load a session! This may cause problems with logout and other functions - please make sure SSI.php is included before *anything* else in all your scripts! in /home/testmyn/public_html/forum/SSI.php on line 158" I use Windows ME & I use IE6 this is the latest version available for ME.I think there is a later version for XP. I don't have it on anything but i have 3.5 diskets for IBM DOS version 4.00, Windows 3.0, &Windows 3.11.A ghost type restore disk for Windows 98SE (its a peice of crap that came with the PC).

boywonder;Thanks on the Com03Irq18buffer=4096 try it COM03IRQ18Buffer=8760 The 8760 comes from 6 X1460 =8760 1460 being my MSS. You can try 8192 to see if it works better. Add this line too COM03IRQ18=115200 or what you use for Maximum speed in you modem properties. I'm not really just how effective the 16-bit app support is with XP but if it decreases performance you can just delete it.
