any thing else?

what are the things needed to be done if you have a newly connected DSL in your PC? Firewall? Close ports? tweaks? etc. Just post it here ok!

thanks a lot for your time! you sure is good at this!

oh ok! is there nothing I could do with the high pings? no tweaks around this?

based on the tracert info? and I'm less than 2km away, is that really far?

Instruction 15 - I have already download Cablenut but I can't seem to find any tweaks that fits me? 256/128? Cables are new, modem is also new, and I'm not that far from the local exchange... Is there anything I could do to improve my connection? I can't even reach the advertised speed... I would be satisfied already if I could reach that! I'm in Asia btw...
