Bird Fan Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 What modem and package do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 I've uploaded the tweaks that I use below. Remember that I might be on a different sattellite, my install might be different than yours, and sometimes different tweaks work for different computers. I use Sat Speed (a utility that you have to have a membership to get from copperhead.cc ) , but it registers the same tweaks as Cablenut would. I've also included an upload patch from the site, I have yet to find out if it helps at all. If you don't have cablenut, you can't do anything with the "cablenut.ccs" file. For a guide on Cablenut tweaking, go here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1013.0 Take a look at this thread if you want to see my speed tests http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=10523.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccormick30 Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 ive got Direcway6000, and tweaks for me? or any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf216 Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Try the Cablenut settings file found here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10749.0;attach=9027 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 ive got Direcway6000, and tweaks for me? or any help? Pro or Consumer? Did you try the Cablenut guide I posted? What browser are you using to test? Firefox tests much slower than IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Try the Cablenut settings file found here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10749.0;attach=9027 I bet my cablenut tweak would work just as good. I don't think the different modems matter that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Fan Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 alright ill try the cablenut is it easy to install/work? Yes, as long as you use a template (or one of the .ccs files we posted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the 1500 one and choose your account type, whether it be consumer, pro, or business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf216 Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Find the file that most closely matches your connection speed.. which for the DW6000 is 500/120 I think. or try the one I linked to earlier as it's tuned for that speed and the unique latency problems satelite internet has.

mccormick30 Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Bird once i click the 1500 file then it doesnt say anything bout consumer, or anything like that, after i click it a pop-up comes up and says open or cancel, and i click open then theres and error page that comes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such choice for Direcway files... We either have a choice of 1460 MTU or 1500 and then our package type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccormick30 Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 and i tried both of them, but once i open them nothing seems to be happening? anything might be wrong u can think of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just click on it, it should open Cablenut and then all you have to do is go to "save to registry" then reboot and then post a speed test here.
