Its all over but the cryin' 75-70 HEELS!

Don't be getting too giddy about getting Adelphia, they've got their problems too in No. VA.

Just curious... what did scruff do to get the door slammed?

If you want, download Belar Advisor and and then email or PM the results to me. Let me look at what's loaded on your machine. www.belarc.com

These all look like legit processes. Are you connected to a remote terminal server?

REH, I downloaded that Midpoint Software and tried it with this machine, two NICs with two separate ISPs. The program isn't designed to 'combine' the bandwidth of the two services. It will select one as a default and use the second as a 'failsafe'. That is to say that if one of the services should slow down or fall out completely, it will switch over to the other (faster)service without missing a beat. This program can and will decrease your download and upload times by splitting the files and sending them or receiving them over two pipes instead of one. This works a lot like a download manager does, in making multiple connections to a server. In addition, the software can be used to set up a firewall and act as a NAT with out the use of a router. All the down stream computers are connected with a switch. This would work well in an office environment where you might want to use a computer as a NAT and firewall instead of a router to feed other comps in the office with broadband. Why do this instead of just using a router? A router will distribute the broadband equally among all connections. With the computer as a NAT, you can run software that can monitor and or/restrict broadband usage, basically assigning a local cap on individual computers or applications. (This is done at the office where I work, streaming video for video conferencing takes priority over say... surfing ebay or checking Hotmail. I think some of the folks here have gotten the idea that this program will increase their stats. It is a very good program for what it does. But it is not designed to combine two broadband connections for the purpose of increasing your connection speeds..or improving your stats. For general surfing, it only uses one pipe, the fastest one. I've been doing some reading about bridging with WinXP SP2. Bridging in XP was designed to combine workgroups for the purposes of file sharing or internet sharing, not for combining broadband connections. Altrhough it will result in an increase in speed when configured properly on small home networks. Bridging broadband connections on large networks like schools or corporate setups, usually do not work and will actual result in a decrease in performance. Give it time, though. I have no doubt that someone will come up with a way to do it.

"Your trace is clean except one tiny little bump " What was I looking at. Sorry, I won't drink so heavily before posting next time. B

You already have the wireless router/modem right? which one, what's the make and model? The wireless pci card runs from $40 to $70, dependss on the speed. If you have a 801.11b, its the low end. The 54g cost more. You can walk in and find them at Best Buy, or probably get a better price if you shop online.

Those USB devices will do in a pinch, but I've had better results with internal pci wireless cards in two of my desktops.

Hey coldflame712, Greets and welcome to the forum. This is a good place to find help and learn. I've been around just for a short while, but feel I've learned a lot from these guys. What make and model router are you using? What is the firmware version? Have you done any set up on the router? You mention: "The adapter says it can have speeds up to 54 Mbps" so we can assume it is a 54g model. There are settings within to select the wireless speed, have you done that? Is the wireless card in the PC with problems also a 54g flavor? If it is only an 801.11b, 11Mbps is all you're gonna get. If this is a Linksys model, I can help you, if not....someone will

I'd say your download looks good for a 4Mpbs connection, what is your upload doing? Your trace is clean except one tiny little bump between you and the gateway. That's the same place I'm having problems, loss as high as 24% at times. All my coax checks out good, but I'm going to string a new line to their box just to make sure. Adelphia won't own up to having network problems.

I'm getting near acceptable upload about 650, my download is in the gutter 1200 -2000 Kbps

Yeah, they think they are jeffc52053 , do a pathping to testmy.net. I'd be curious to see where yours is breaking down. What part of the country are you located? click START, click RUN, type in CMD, then click OK, type pathping testmy.net copy the results to a post right click on the comman window title bar select EDIT select SELECT ALL right click on the title bar again select EDIT select COPY then paste to your post

well said!

If you are wanting to insert a router between your cable modem and your computer so that you can share your connection with other comps in the house, this is easy with the Linksys easy connect. You'll download a small diddy from Linksys. It will step you thru the process. Has worked very well for me http://www.linksysfix.com/check/index.html?CallerID=KB

Yeah, I did Van's tweeks, there is no router in this mix, I'm straight to the modem. I want to make sure this connection is working before I put a network on it. I got online chat help with Adelphia today. The first time we went thru all the typical 'when was the last time you???? Then I asked them if they had really provisioned me for the Premier. They then reprvisioned the modem. I tested and it was worse. Got online with them again just 30 min. ago and got to tier 2. He had me go to testmy.net to get him a speed test, ran ipconfig and copied that info to him. Then he asked for dns and dhcp server names. Before I could respond, he cut me off because the chat exceeded a time limit...I suppose. I've had it with these idiots. Where the hell am I going to get dns and dhcp server names with a cable modem connection. It isn't set up on the machine, nor is it in the modem. I don't know that it even applies.I think I'll just rip up their cable out of my yard tomorrow morning.

I'm in the same boat. Just added Adelphia Premier 6768, eliminated the roiuter, jacked right into the modem, ran Van's tweaks for 6000768 and still getting a slow download. The upload has improved, but I don't think the tweaks had anything to do with it, I think it is Adelphia's network. :::..

Hey VanBuren- Just set this up, am running directly to the modem, Linksys BEFCMU10, brand new out of the box. Tweaked with Cablenut 1460 cable & dsl 6000/768 Contacted Adelphia online chat and they reset the modem online. B Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] © Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

A man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it." The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?" The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me." The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?" The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?" The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know." A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?" The man said yes and the Rabbi! replied, "Take the poison."
