Thanks, but I don't see any folder named: Cable & DSL 6000 768.ccs There are several folders and the one for cable is the one I opened.. There seem to be about four settings and I opened the first one, which is the fast 2K, or something like that.. I saved those changes to the registry already, so not sure where to go from there..

Thanks.. any ideas on how I can tweak my connection some more? Before the crash, I consistently had much better readings.. The problem with Cablenut is that it doesn't give enough step by step for the novice.. JK

The hard drive on my 16 mo. old P4 desktop failed a week or so ago, and I had a technician install a new one. Simultaneously, I was under the impression that my broadband provider (Comcast) increased the speed on the connection to 6 mb/384 kbps. I installed Cablenut again, but the speed seems off and inconsistent. Here's the today's speed test: :::..

Thanks.. much appreciated.. do they make one that's a bit more affordable? I only use one port for periodic data exchange, as I do not have multiple PC's networked.. Just something simple as firewall protection (NAT).. Jonathan

I have been using a D-Link wired router model DI-704 and it appears something burned out on it, as it reduces my speed by about 80% when I run my broadband through it.. My computer guy says this is normal since it's running constantly and it's old. I guess I have to replace it now for firewall protection and am wondering which wired cable/dsl router is the best, as well as most economical. I use a wired router since my laptop and desktop have Goldmine Contact manager loaded on them and I do a data synch regularly. Front Range, developer of Goldmine, says synching with a wirless router can be c

Thanks.. so I presume I should leave the tweak settings where they are rather than change the one that Speedy Final mentioned?

It's supposed to be 3 mb down and 256 kbps up.. or something similar to that..

OK.. have installed the tweaks and here's the test results: :::..

Sorry, but am having difficulty following your directions.. When I open the Adjuster, then go to File, the menu says "Open Custom Settings File". When I click there, the folder is "CCS" and when I click on this, the options are "Cable, DSL, etc".. Not sure where to go as when I go to the cable folder it has about 4 choices there.. What am I doing that's different from your instructions as it's not the same.. Thanks again..

OK.. thanks.. Here's the URL: http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:485845a?service=cable&speed=3200&os=win2k&via=normal It seems it's OK according to the test.. Let me know your thoughts..

Thanks.. of many of the things on the list, I have done these, except the Cablenut tweaks. I have not downloaded this program nor changed the settings. I am not a geek and am a little nervous about using this program especially if it causes any system problems. I run Win 2K on my Athlon 64 system with plenty of RAM etc.. I have used Crap Cleaner often, and have Ad Aware and Spyware Blaster too.. I just changed the NIC card settings to 100mb full duplex as stated, since I use a DLink router between the modem and nic card.. If you can assist with the Cablenut deal in order that I don't disrupt a

I'm brand new here and would like to see if I can increase my speed.. My system is an Athlon 64 running at 2.8 ghz, 512 mb RAM, with Win 2K. I have Comcast and use a D-Link hub as a firewall. Comcast just installed a new Terayon modem and it's plugged inot the D-Link, then into my NIC card. Here's the speed result tests: :::..
