disturbed

hehe yeah it was supposed to be a poll on the top i just dont know if we have them here....do we ? or i just cant see that option hehe

1) IE 2) Netscape ? (HM......) 3) Firefox 4) other ? I go with firefox....how about you ?

yeah......but i think that spybot search and destroy does it just fine i use both anyway.....well all 3 of them: adware, spybot and the microsoft's new thing.....lol along with avast antivirus.......its all a preference....id chose spybot over microsoft's stuff any day ...

bosanac - that seems about right, and this is why...its like same speed expressed in 2 different ways bit and byte = Kb is different than KB - byte has 8 bits hope i didnt confuse u

i went through like 15 different antivirus programs in a last year.....some of which are: mcafee, norton, panda, kaspersky and god knows what else all of them seemed not to be working that good....one would find what other wouldnt....now im using avast antivirus...it seems to be working just fine, no complaints about it, and ive been using it for about 2,3 months now....its not free though

shouldnt we be running half duplex on our nic ?

well good idea - but selling hosting can get rather expensive....it means most likely getting a resellers account (lot of $ if u wanna invest in a decent hosting plan) or owning ur own server which is I think better

most likely half duplex

terrible...just terrible

true....same for me....mail storage doesnt matter.....i just need to get it, read it and delete it there are other ways of serving files, rather than e-mail heheheheheh - but u know...i pay 40 for my cox service too and i also get 4000/512 - well more than that when tweaked - so do i value cable more than dsl ? yes

beat u to it van

hi willy saxon all righty...here's the deal...is that bad ? well we dont know u'd have to tell us what kind of package u're subscribing for....u know the advertised download/upload speed rule of thumb is, if u're not getting at least 90% of your advertised speed you should probably try tweaking it, if that doesnt work: have a little chat with u'r provider - when it comes to tweaking just follow this guide, im almost positibe that u'll get more out of ur connection if u use it: http://www.luwigie.com/tweaks/ - it's pretty easy to tweak ur connection if u follow those simple steps also, if u visit this thread https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1013.0 '>https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1013.0 and take a look at the first post made by CA3LE, you would find few attachements u can download (for use with the cablenut) - u wanna get Van Buren's cable nut settings and also....if u wanna get most out of ur computer, make sure you're using proper antivirus, antispyware software and that u update it from time to time another hint: When you need help with tweaking then add these things in your post. 1. What OS are you running, ex win 98, win xp 2. What service do you have, what is the advertised speed for download/upload. 3. What tweakprograms you already got installed, and run this test http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks [www.dslreports.com] copy and paste result URL adress in your post! 5. What speed do you have against www.testmy.net [www.testmy.net] and http://nitro.ucsc.edu/ [nitro.ucsc.edu] also make a tracert, go to start-run type command and hit enter, type tracert testmy.net and hit enter, right click copy all and paste it in your post. 6. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need. 7. Open Internet Explorer and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure nothing there is checked. 8. Connect your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it depend on the ISP service unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL. If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware. 9. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 30 seconds. 10. Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot http://beam.to/spybotsd [beam.to] and Ad Aware http://www.lavasoft.com/support/download [www.lavasoft.com] to remove any spyware 11. ZoneAlarm firewall has known problems with dropping speed, i suggest to uninstall it and compare speed 12. Install Outpost Firewall http://www.agnitum.com [www.agnitum.com] or Sygate Firewall http://www.sygate.com/ [www.sygate.com] 13. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one, AVG is great http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php [www.grisoft.com] 14. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates 15. Download and run CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ [www.ccleaner.com] 16. download and install Cablenut 4.08 and Vanburens cablenut settings 2 versions here https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1013.0 [testmy.net] unzip settings to C:ProgramCablenut (borrowed from Van Buren's post) hope u can get that speed tweaked

yeah i was just gonna say that its actually stock (the exterior)

pgt = probe gt (made by ford) - justin....are you a member over at PT ?

those bandwidth limitations are very hard to reach with a game server...

sorry to see you go

i dont think they're really strict about running a thing such as a game server.....i know a lot of ppl doing it, in a matter of fact i did it for a while too....a lot of residential cox users run ftp and other type's of servers as well....
