lol! yeah, really swamped. as you can see, I really don't have the time to be on here much Have ya'll seen this? http://kb.direcway.com/al/12/2/1036.htm

This isn't making a lot of sence... normally you cannot comission to a satellite that you aren't assigned to. the only thing you can do is change frequency. So I don't undersatnd how you are accomplishing that. the only way I know of is to call DW & get the right department. I have tried pointing to a satellite that i wasn't commisioned to & I get a fine signal through setup, bat as soon as you are done it drops.

Wow!!! I thought I was going to get swamped! Oh well, maybe I'm just speaking too soon

The big slow down you are talking about is because the Satellite you are on is just plain too busy to give you good speeds. This is DW's problem, & for that matter the problem with a lot of Satellite based communications. They like to cram as many people as they can onto each "Bird". I am on G3C & don't really notice much of a slowdown during peak hrs. So what I am trying to say is that, I doubt they have any motivation to "fix" that problem.

Hey all. You probably don't remember me at all, but I have been a member here for over a year & have posted a little from time to time, but have not really been active. I first got my DW in the fall of 2004 in Southern Oregon USA. Then in april of 2005 I moved to Northern California & took my system with me & installed it myself.

Yeah, that would be a problem! I use port 83 on my DW4000. I can't remember where I got that tweak from...

lol, that is just about it!!! The interesting thing is that I think I have talked to the same guy each time! For a real shocker, I think I got the same guy when I called DELL support!!!!!!

Now I like this! I just changed my MTU from 1460 to 1500 & the TCP Recieve Window from 256960 to 513920 just like ccr1958 has his. & it seems to have helped!

Here's mine Better than I thought it would be!
