Hi, thanks for the warm welcome...friendly forum here. I have tweaked my settings some and here they are: MTU = 1500 MSS = 1460 Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 128480 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 1 bits (scale factor of 2) Unscaled Receive Window = 64240 Your RcvWindow limits you to: 5139.2 Kbps (642.4 KBytes/s) @ 200ms Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2055.68 Kbps (256.96 KBytes/s) @ 500ms MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON Time to live left = 50 hops TTL value is ok. Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00100000 Precedence (priority) = 000 (routine) Delay = 0 (normal delay) Throughput = 0 (normal throughput) Reliability = 1 (high reliability) Cost = 0 (normal cost) I have the standard Comcast package which is 4 down 384 up. I'm connected to a Linksys WRT54G router (hard wired) and I have an onboard 10/100 NIC set at 100MB Full Duplex. Here's my latest speed test (cleared cache first) :::..

Broadbandreports.com tells me to do one thing and Speedguide.net tells me to do something different when it comes to setting my RWIN value. I just found this website and I am running 3 download tests to start, each time I am clearing my cache before I run the next test. I have Comcast's basic package so they claim I should get up to 4Mb...uh-huh... Test 1. :::..

To be honest with you, networking and stuff like this isn't really my strong suit. Does anybody have any advice or does everything look good? If these speed tests are accurate, I'll be more than happy with 3.5Mb down. Thanks for your advice/opinions in advance. FYI - Here is what my speeds are when I run the test at pdx.speakeasy.net. I'm in pdx. 2005-03-14 01:20:12 EST: 4149 / 325 Your download speed : 4248914 bps, or 4149 kbps. A 518.6 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 333629 bps, or 325 kbps.
