This is better, but i cant get these speeds when downloading regular stuff,mp3's, files etc
normal download speeds are 50 to 65, when 120 was the norm before. I have checked all cables etc, but nothing has changed, other than a new drive
i'm on tiscali 1mb

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer
TCP properties for IP = ...................... ()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
TCP options string = 020405b401010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44) <-- current value
bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):
Your TCP Window limits you to: 2569.6 kbps (321.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your TCP Window limits you to: 1027.84 kbps (128.48 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 54 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)
I've had to do this all again after a hard drive failure.
Done the speed tests, ran cablenut, tcp optimizer results below.
But in cablenut, my RWIN already IS 64240
connection still slow, whats going on?

I'm trying to help my dear old mum sort out a computer issue long distance.
She cant forward on Joke type emails, silly .jpg's, .Wmv files etc
Any plain text emails are fine, but she cant forward pretty much anything.
I cant think of any Outlook express settings that would do this?
She's got XP home
Tiscali broadband
Norton anti-virus
System seems seriously slow, lots of hanging applications, kapersky reports no problems after scan.
I fear i may have altered a setting in the firewall that is causing some hidden problems, can i reset the firewall to its default settings?
Also, why did kapersky pick up my .mp3's in "my music" folder and tell me they were spyware?
problem solved, the link for the download, in another thread was only for configuration editor and command centre files.
i uninstalled these and downloaded the program again from aginum's site, working fine now.
all that for a duff link. cheers van buren
Ah, that screenshot sure helped. When i go to start>all programs>agnitum>outpost office firewall:
i only have configuration editor and command centre
is this because i have the trial version or is the damn firewall not even installed?
it says it is in add remove programs!
help for a person similar to two short planks please
I installed the trial version on recommendation, all reviews seem to suggest its very good.
Only thing is, what does it do? i'm still getting spyware and adware, lots of pop-ups etc despite removing them daily with ad-aware, spybot, bit defender etc.
I tried a re-install, a firewall is definately enabled in internet options, although it could be the useless Xp one, and i dont have an icon in my systray
