I couldn't get my copy & paste to work at this site so I had to do a screen shot .It's working fine at testmy. The link below gives several links to different NDT test sites including the Taiwan one. http://e2epi.internet2.edu/ndt/ndt-server-list.html

Thequiltelf : The uninstaller below is supposed to remove Aurora.I don't have the Aurora in my OS so I don't know if it works.I would run this & your other Anti spware programs from safe mode this usually results in a removal that stays removed.While in safe mode run your anti virus too.I assume you also Firewall & spyware blocking program like SpywareBlaster. http://www.mypctuneup.com/evaluate.php On the running at only 43.94 % of your hosts average (btcentralplus.com) This average includes faster connections at the ISP .You should use a larger test they are more accurate.

The Cat 3 I used has 4 matched pairs .meaning 8 wires each pair is the same color but 1 of them has a white stripe.the pairs have a twist every so many inches inside the cable .This is to reduce interference. So you need to use them as a pair to take advantage of this. All you need to do is buy the correct modular phone plugs & crimping tool.When you put the plugs on the cable make sure the colors are opposite on each end of the cable when you are looking at the same side of the plug.

CA3LE: I would have expected to find yours.Since you have this web site. I just thought it was something other members might want to try.If it was posted before I missed it.

I put in Cholla looking up some information on the Cholla cactus & found my user name in Google. If interested see if your user name is there.

I used regular 4 wire 24 gauge phone wire from the jack to the PC.You could use the cat 3 or 5 on the modular phone line plugs but they don't fit like the flat wire does .I used the regular round & drilled the plug a little to make it fit.Don't use a power drill just use the bit by hand its less likely to break the plug.since the cat 5 is larger you might not be able to drill the plug enough.In that case you would just have to strip the cable far enough back & use just the wires.Not as pretty but it might give a better connection.Just make sure the color order matches & the plugs are reversed from each other( at least thats correct for a dial-up cable. If you can larger good cablefrom the wall jack to the NID for dial-up improves the connection.It should be the same for DSL I'm not sure if the outside box for DSL is called a NID but from the wall jack to the outside box with cat 5.Of course you have to own your home to do that or have a cooperative landlord.

helloimtim :I guess some get more excited that others .I've heard the "it's just the net & petty things" line before. My response to it is if it true that its just the net. Then why if you or I posted certain things just words the FBI or some government agency will be busting down our door & arresting us.So the right or wrong words on the net can evoke a powerful response.So add another 2 cents .Since you valued yours at 6 cents that makes a total of 12 cents.

You can also disable your UPnP & any type of connection you don't use in Network.This closes some possibly open ports.

I'm pretty sure it is the Argon content of the atmosphere that causes the color to be blue.

j_lum: I used 26 gauge cat 3 for my dial up for the wire from the jack to the NID.& 24 gauge from the jack to the PC.I think you can get 18 gauge cat 5 wire & maybe even larger. You don't want too large a gauge though or it will slow you down like too small.BTW you need to get a crimp tool & put the jacks on yourself.that way you can make custom legnths.

Randon: Thanks is enough as usual I learn something when I help .

You might not be able to make a 56K faster but you can tweak it so it does what its supposed to.I had mine a lot faster at one time then it stopped being as fast.I have no explanition except my ISP slowed my connection down.I won't post my old tests but the were faster than a 56K should go.And not cached I can do a cached test that will show to fast for testmy. Now I get good speed for a 56K but I never got 20 times faster like Dist was asking about.

cak46 : what do you use to tell how many ACKS you are getting?

I think if your RWIN is too small for the data coming in it temporaily doesn't have anywhere to go.So it returns until it can load.I think thats what causes the acks.

cak46; The MSS & MTU set at the correct size transfer without having to be broken down into smaller packets & refragmented.The settings inthe first post are supposed to be correct for that connection.If you multiply 1440,1452 or 1460 by 44 all are less than 65535 which unless I don't rember it correctky is the maximum Windows can receive unscaled.So I thought multiplying by 44 was as close as each one could get without going over 65536.for example 46 X1440=66240. The multiplier has to be an even number or scaling doesn't work correctly.

Hey all; I didn't get any replies to this so I'm double posting it.I think the reason they use 44 X MSS is it comes closest to 65535 on the unscaled RWIN or the lowest one the number is the same. Anyone have a different or better explanation?

I don't use a web accelerator but as far as I know it compresses data.Basicly the less data loading the faster the page loads .But I want all the data so if its slower its slower. This is the same thing some dial-up ISP's offer you for an extra 5 to 10 dollars a month.They just do it with there equipment instead of yours making it seem faster.

Hi all: I put these in another post but I wanted to put them in their own topic. Does anyone know why the speedguide.net Tcp/IP analyzer multiplies MSS by 44 to calculate RWIN ? You have to have scaling enabled for everything but the smallest RWIN value in each list. These are the suggested RWIN's from the speedguide.net Tcp/IP analyzer The first one is for PPPoE with 1492=MTU 1452=MSS 511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8 ) 255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) 127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 63888 (MSS x 44) The second one is for other broadband 1500=MTU 1460=MSS 513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8 ) 256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) 128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 64240 (MSS x 44) The third is for PPPoE using XP & without a router. 1480=MTU 1440=MSS 506880 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8 ) 253440 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4 126720 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 63360 (MSS x 44)

RaWDiZ : I thought if I put them all here you could decide on the correct one for your connection & OS. Start with the next to the smallest & work up until the larger RWIN slows your performance then go back to the next smaller one.I don't think you will need anything above the largest RWIN here.

peepnklown : Ok so 2000 doesn't call it system restore .System recovery so MS could call it something different for the newer OS.I think the link you posted has good info . Recovery Console & Safe Boot Windows 2000 allows several options for booting to a minimal set of drivers for troubleshooting or system recovery.

RaWDiZ :I am not sure what your OS is you should have a setting in your Cablenut

sandandsnow22: Have you tried System Restore? Or StartRun scanreg /restore

RaWDiZ: All of the RWIN's in the list in my post will give you an Unscaled Receive Window of 64240 with windows scaling enabled.For mine I use 128480 like in the post but unscaled it is 64240.That means if I understand scaling is if all the RWIN I need to load a web page or any data is 64240 or less then it uses the unscaled RWIN.If windows needs more RWIN then it starts scaling up to 128480.If you need it to be even larger you use the 256960 or 513920 I don't think you will need to go higher or even that large.If your OS is fastest at 513920 then you can go higher by continueing to add 64240 .I think this is correct you might hav to add128480 each time.the test at speed guide will tell you its right by the unscaled RWIN staying at 64240.I think the largest possible that will scale to 64240 is 65781760.After that it doesn't scale right.I don't know why But I did that playing around you would never need a RWIN that large.
