ok, i downloaded TCPOptimizer, these are the results of my download, :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 572 Kbps about 0.6 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Download Speed is:: 70 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Sat Nov 26 21:46:54 UTC+0800 2005 Bottom Line:: 10X faster than 56K 1MB download in 14.63 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 60.92 % of your hosts average (com.sg) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-1HEIUJL7A but i don't feel much difference with the internet speed. btw, if i use Vanburens cablenut settings version 7, should i click on Win98 and ME, than click Mss1460, and then Win98 and ME Cable_DSL 1500+ ? Are those suited to my computer? Also now that i've downloaded the TCPOptimizer, can i still use Cablenut? thanks for all the help...

ok..what do u mean by 'if still no browsing, continue to Step 6: Restoring TCP/IP' which step 6? also i can't find the website of the vendor, im using IEEE 802.11b WLAN USB adapter. btw, all these steps are to help improve my download speed right? after following your steps i got this: :::..

thanks.. im sorry but may i know what an ethernet card is? and how do i know what it looks like? btw, i forgot to mention that my pc can't be directly connected to my modem (also my router is my modem) coz my cpu does not have the connection thingy to connect it. That's why i had to go wireless with it. what should i do now? thanks again...

Sorry, but im really very blur when it comes to computers and im trying my best to learn it. 6. done it. 7. "Never Connect to your modem via USB ! Always connect to 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 depends 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." i dont understand this paragraph. im using a wireless router with a wireless LAN connection. 8. don't understand. 9-14. i already have a spyware programe and i have a firewall in my router. 15. i have Cablenut 4.08, but i don't know how to use it. even when i downloaded the Vanburens cablenut settings version 7 , i don't know which is suited to my computer. 16. i don't think i'll even be able to tweak it myself given my low knowledge of computers. ok, i've done those steps, and i really hope someone can tell me what to do coz i really have to idea what im doing. thanx a million..
