Are you sure? CA3LE ~ I got a template error after last post. O-Tay ~ everything seems to be back to 'normal' (except 'Chat' room is gone(thank God, I mean CA3LE). . .poor 'Frank' , delegated to the dungeons of testmy.net(and that's not a nice place to be stuck, I know ~ lol)

CA3LE ~ you need to warn us. I almost had a total breakdown ~ I thought I screwed up all my settings(again). . . .poor Cholla ~ I must of messaged him a million times when I was struck there ~ lol

I've been having the hardest time getting 'here' over the last hour!

Ohh, man o' man! . . .after I posted this ~ I went to this page; Database Error Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator. so, I don't know if I'll ever 'really' see you guys again. I'm lost in 'dungeons' of testmy.net? the only way I can get back here is to go to 'home' ~ and click on this 'new' topic and . . .Aghhh! Upgrading the forum... Don't worry, we will be back shortly with an updated forum. It will only be a minute . "what ~ me worry?"

What browser are you using ~ in any case ~ just allow pop-ups!

. . .or ask dad for $195. to re-set passwords. http://www.lostpassword.com/windows-xp-2000-nt.htm?googlekwd=windows+password Windows XP / 2000 / NT Key US $195.00 . . .the nerve of some exploits to charge people!!! ~ lol

. . .can you contact the previous owner? (and use the ol' 'blackmail' strategy) j/k

Try F8 after boot-up(but before Windows Start up screen) and select 'safe-mode' ~ you might get in as administrator ~ then goto 'User Accounts' in Control Panel' and change everything to your liking. (I think there might be a control key combo you can hold down during 'safe-mode' to bypass passwords?) Or try some googles; http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/win_xp_passwords.htm

What about the prevailing Internet 'weather' factor(between you and the test site) ~ that can vary a test hourly and daily? Don't forget that protocol overhead will mean that you never reach the actual speed advertised by your ISP. . . .and what about malformed packets associated with routing protocols that can cause undesirable consequences if not detected and contained properly as close to the originator as possible. This issue magnifies the scope and complexity in a large-scale network, such as a public IP network. A malformed routing packet has the potential to impact thousands of customers as well as all the major Internet service providers (ISP) in a matter of seconds.

This uncertainty leads to some strange effects. For example, in a Quantum Mechanical world, I cannot predict where a particle will be with 100 % certainty. I can only speak in terms of probabilities. For example, I can only say that an atom will be at some location with a 99 % probability, and that there will be a 1 % probability it will be somewhere else (in fact, there will be a small but finite probabilty that it can even be found across the Universe). This is strange. We do not know if this indeterminism is actually the way the Universe works, because the theory of Quantum Mechanics is probably incomplete. That is, we do not know if the Universe actually behaves in a probabilistic manner (there are many possible paths a particle can follow and the observed path is chosen probabilistically) or if the Universe is deterministic in the sense that I could predict the path a particle will follow with 100 % certainty. A consequence of the Quantum Mechanical nature of the world is that particles can appear in places where they have no right to be (from an ordinary, common sense [classical] point of view)! In the Quantum Mechanical world, the idea that we can locate objects exactly breaks down. Let me state this idea more precisely. Suppose a particle has momemtum p and position x. In a Quantum Mechanical world, I would not be able to measure p and x precisely. There would be an uncertainty associated with each measurement that I could never get rid of, even in a perfect experiment!!! The size of the uncertainties are not independent; they are related as dp x dx > h / (2 x pi) = Planck's constant / (2 x pi) Remember these; FINAGLE'S CREED Science is Truth; don't be misled by facts. THE FINAGLE FACTOR (Sometimes called the SWAG (Scientific Wild-Assed Guess) Constant) That quantity which, when multiplied by, divided by, added to, or subtracted from the answer which you got, yields the answer you should have gotten. Items such as 'Finagle's Constant' and the more subtle 'Bougerre Factor' are loosely grouped, in mathematics, under constant variables, or, if you prefer, variable constants. Finagle's Constant, a multiplier of the zero-order term, may be characterized as changing the universe to fit the equation. The Bougerre (pronounced 'bugger') Factor is characterized as changing the equation to fit the universe. It is also known as the 'Soothing Factor'; mathematically similar to the damping factor, it has the characteristic of dropping the subject under discussion to zero importance. A combination of the two, the Diddle Coefficient, is characterized as changing things so that universe and equation appear to fit without requiring a change in either.

. . .my equivalence principle is that frames of reference undergoing acceleration and frames of reference in gravitational fields are equivalent, but time runs more slowly in strong gravitational fields. . . .as a restricted sub-theory; in any region of space sufficiently small ~ its curvature can be neglected. Remember;"Space tells matter how to move; matter tells space how to curve."

Like how you changed your name

D.U.K.E. Cholla ; (Dial Up Knowledge Expert) I changed my settings to match your 'smaller' settings. . . .but, now I'm confused(?) about the DefaultReceiveWindow and DefaultSendWindow. later you say; To set the default size of the AFD-Windows use the following DWORD registry keys : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Afd Parameters] DefaultReceiveWindow = 16384 DefaultSendWindow = 16384 In my CableNut Adjuster Settings ~ it changes the Registry settings in AFD and Tcpip for XP. . . .what should my Default Receive and Send Windows be then?

D.U.K.E. Cholla ; (Dial Up Knowledge Expert) these settings are working fine ~ at least no dis-connects ~ lol lag could also have to do with my video card ~ NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 though, I do have all my in-game video settings on 'low'.

only if you think "monopolizing" HS Cable(at least in my area - Western WA) is a bad thing ~ lol oh, Things That Are "Comcastic"

Freak Topic Read 2000 times ~ lol It's funny now ~ 'cause I'm looking for the best(most stable) on-line gaming settings. Which means I'm lowering alot of my settings. (I just want to be 'normal' again ~ lol) [move] [move] [/move] [/move]

Cholla ; sounds like it time to find a better ISP ~ who's yours anyway?

Questions: If I start experiencing fragmentation above 1472 shouldn't my MTU be 1472? and my MSS(MTU - 40) be 1432? and when calculating my TcpReceiveWindow 1472(MTU) x 300(Max Anticipated Latency) / 8 = 55200 55200 / 1432 = 38.54786 (Then round up to the nearest even whole number:) 40 x 1432 = 57280 = the base TcpReceiveWindow value from here I could take advantage of Windows Scaling (if the value is 65535 or greater) 57280 x 2 = 114560 = MAX TcpReceiveWindow referencing: http://www.broadbandnuts.com/index.php?page=tiptrix DefaultReceiveWindow = multiply your ISPs download caps in kilobytes by 1024 DefaultSendWindow = multiply your ISPs upload caps in kilobytes by 1024 DefaultReceiveWindow = 56 x 1024 = 57344 DefaultSendWindow = 26 x 1024 = 26624 Shouldn't this be how I should be thinking ~ when re-testing my settings?
