Some of you might have noticed my many referals to pcpitstop.com but, Hew Jass, if you run out of options this 3-5min test will tell you many things from what you have disabled to what processes you have running and where they came from. http://pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/pitstop.asp

Your speed tests continue to fall here? Hew Jass's Download Average = 2298 Kbps comcast.net Download Average = 3172 Kbps When I do a speed test I have less then 28 Processes going, I make sure that no packets are moving prior to the test, and my cpu usage is under 2%.

Comcast.net is high speed...so less then 100ms "Great, typical of a high-speed cable or DSL connection." 100-200ms "Good, common for cable and DSL connections." 200-400ms "Fair, usually seen with dialup connections or faraway sites." This is a ping test, but you need activeX http://pcpitstop.com/internet/pinger.asp I got Dallas, TX, USA

Ping mostly measures distance right? I am in western USA and my worst pings are to hosts in Europe or the UK, such as 500ms. Testmy.net is in Dallas TX and I have a ping of 52ms. Two questions, what kind of internet? and where you live?

Test of Van's Cablenut Settings All tests done with 2992KB unless otherwise noted Cablenut 3000/384 2754 Kbps 2924 Kbps 3748 Kbps 3182 Kbps 3150 Kbps AVERAGE = 3151Kbps Cablenut 4000/384 3343 Kbps 4287 Kbps 4442 Kbps 5897 Kbps 4103 Kbps via 5983KB 2804 Kbps AVERAGE = 3462 Kbps Cablenut 5000/384 2353 Kbps 3307 Kbps 3367 Kbps 4557 Kbps 3476 Kbps AVERAGE = 3412 Kbps My 30 day average is 3800Kbps down, also see my sig.

I should have said that laugh was toward my computer not you. Look at my sig computer 2.

The processor runs at 730Mhz. The bus speed, ha, I dont know 100Mhz.

I have a wimpy 730Mhz celeron and I set my RWIN to 256,960

I have both my computers set for 100Mbps lan.

Try to get on and test different times of the day and make sure that your not geting tied in internet congestion.

From SpeedGuide.net MTU = 1500 MTU is fully optimized for broadband. MSS = 1460 Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS. Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 128480 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 1 bits (scale factor of 2) Unscaled Receive Window = 64240 RWIN is a multiple of MSS Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS: 513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8 ) 256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4 ) 64240 (MSS x 44)

I used cablenut on my slower computer because my dad needs a fully fuctioning computer to do his audio recordings and studio mixing. I am going (physicaly) slow today because my wisdom teeth got pulled out 2 hours after Van's last post....Hold on, my mouth is filling with blood...Ok better. I think that one of the other settings that cablenut changes is making problems for me. On all the tests post-cablenut, the test pauses for 2-4 seconds during testing and I have been geting scores such as 2500Kbps rather then 4000Kbps. Only once did the test go perfect and I noticed a 10% increase as I hit 4400Kbps. I will be back to post my tweeked settings from the other computer. I read up on the defiitions Van posted and its kinda fun in a brain twisting way. Um, Van, what are the pros and cons for having the recive window larger then the Tcpwindow? At the tweeked computer is 730Mhz and the cpu load is substantial during testing. Thanks guys for the info. Type to ya later

Another Question for Van, In cablenut tweak screen: DefaultReceiveWindow .......= 549888 GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 124100 TcpWindowSize...................= 124100 TCP1323Opts.......................= 1 These are VanBurens preset setting for 4000/512 found in cablenut verson 6 Both dslreports.com/tweaks and speedguide.net/analyzer report my RWIN: 124100 I know that what you (Cholla) said on MTU & MSS is correct and I have those settings. Are you saying the "TCP1323Opts" is the scale "multiplier"? Okay, Van... How do I set my personal RWIN using Cablenut?

Do you normaly have a "jumpy" load bar with a large RWIN? Does a Larger recive window put a larger load on a wimpy 730Mhz cpu?

My burst speed has jumped but my average speed has not changed.

Okay, I downloaded Cablenut and VanBurens cablenut setting version 6. Should I round up or round down to the closest setting?

I understand all the lingo but cant find it in my Registry, I looked in; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters and cant find something to change my Receive Window or my Window Scaling. Receive Window (RWIN): 65535 Window Scaling: off Path MTU Discovery: OFF RFC1323 Window Scaling: OFF RFC1323 Time Stamping: OFF Selective Acks: ON MSS requested: 1460 TTL: unknown TTL remaining: 109 http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:5185dfe?service=cable&speed=4000&os=win2k&via=normal

Well, you got a lot of opinions so pull up task manager and add virtual memory usage to you processes columns and do some tests.

Between my two computers the average usage of virtual memory is 300MB or what "Task Manager" reports as 200,000K,

No Bar 3496 Kbps about 3.5 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) 3344 Kbps about 3.3 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) 3531 Kbps about 3.5 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) New New Bar 4944 Kbps about 4.9 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) 4113 Kbps about 4.1 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) 4117 Kbps about 4.1 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB)

If Starband is a satellite connection then you will have to ask one of the regulars. It gets complicated with satellite. The tweek setup is different, thats all I know.

To anyone interested, take this test (3-5 min long) and go to test summary, then click on "video" results. This test shows the number of millions of pixels that your computer can draw in a second. Suggestions are also provided for your specific computer. http://pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/pitstop.asp I tested on both my computers getting 30MPs (million pixels per sec) & 106MPs
