ArcticWolf Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 No matter what program I try my MTU won't change.... I set it to 1492 cause I'm using PPPoE DSL..... but as I mentioned that no matter what program I use it won't stay at 1492 it goes back to 1452 according to the tcp/ip analizer at SpeedGiude.net, anyone have a fix for this or know where in the Win98se registry when I can set this manually. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticWolf Posted January 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 Yes I am sure it's MTU , I'll copy and paste what I got from SpeedGuide.net MTU = 1452 MTU is not fully optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput. If you are using a router, it could be limiting your MTU regardless of Registry settings. MSS = 1412 MSS is not optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM-DOS Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 ArcticWolf ~ this is where you find the settings in Windows XP, I'm not sure if it's the same for Win98se ~ but you can look to see. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices TcpipParameters just make sure you use HEXIDECIMAL base [if and when you change things] MTU REG_DWORD 0x000005d4 (1492) look in Interfaces while your there, too.

rammolo Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hi, If you have a router it may be limiting tour mtu value, no matter what you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 ArcticWolf: I did this a whie back but I beleive it will let you make the MTU 7 MSS settings in the Windows 98se registry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is how my Windows 98 SE& windows ME are tweaked.You need to determine what RWIN ,MTU,&MSS your OS needs to use .Then you can add them to your registry . These tweaks will allow you to make some adjustments to your system if you want to do it yourself.There are programs that will do this for you. Like Cablenut but it won't make all of these.If you use one of these this will allow you to see if the program made these adjustments to your registry.If you don't like the adjustment a program made you can change it back if you don't like adjustments to the program you are using to automatically make the adjustments for you.Some allow ajustments some do not.Since I can't know what you have installed you will have to decide what it will take for your OS to keep the settings you want. You need to install this patch http://dslnuts.com/patch/236926usa8.exe It might already be installed or you might be able to get it from MS . This is the MS link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;236926 These tweaks are for setting your RWIN(DefaultRcvWindow),MTU&MSS.You need to determine yourself what settings your OS needs. You need to have window scaling turned on if you want a larger RWIN than 65535 windows 98se will automatically limit the maximum to this with window scaling off even if you set it larger.To determine this you need to go here in your registry.HKLMsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP there should be a string value here "Tcp1323Opts" Exactly like this without the quotes.The O is the letter not a zero. Capital letters should be as they are here& small letters as they are.This is important when tweaking the registry with any tweaks you might add.If this setting is not here you need to add it as a new string value.The values are 0(zero) for Window scaling off, 1 for window scaling only on,2 for time stamping only on,3 for both on.My OS is set at 1. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP "DefaultRcvWindow" without quotes a string value this should already be in the right pane put in the rwin value you want. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP/parameters "GlobalMaxTCPWindoSize" without quotes add as Dword value in right pane it probably won't already be there.The Windo part of this tweak is correct there is not a w at the end of window. set the value the same as the rwin in DefaultRcvWindow.Select Decimal & put in RWIN. Cablenut puts the setting above in HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP but if you check the tweak on the web it is supposed to be where I suggested.I actually have it both places now & it hasn't caused any problems. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesMSTCPNdiparams string value "(Default)"without quotes set at your MTU value string value named "@" without quotes set at your MTU value HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000 "IPMTU" without quotes string value in right pane set at your MTU value HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000NdiparamsIPMTU string value "(Default)"without quotes set at your MTU value string value named "@" without quotes set at your MTU value add values to right pane HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000NdiparamsIPMTUenum delete the values for "Large" "medium" & "small" without quotes Leave tht values for "Automatic" &(default) rename "automatic" your MTU value like "1500" for example the put in "Automatic" without quotes as the value of the string value it should look something like this example I could not copy the string value symbol so where I type string value is where the symbol would be string value 1500 "Automatic".If you make this last tweak you need to make these setting to network in the control panel .Select your internet connection( such as Dial-up adapter this is what my OS uses) then select properties then advanced highlight IP Packet size& select automatic.Then OK&OK again.you need to do this for each type of connection you have. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000NdiparamsIPMTU002 string value "IPMTU" without quotes set at your MTU value There may be other values here like 003,004,005 depending on your system network put in like the 002 value HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet trans000 string value "MaxMSS" without quotes set at your MTU value string value "MaxMTU"without quotes set at your MTU value There may be other values here like 002,003,004,005 depending on your system network put in like the 000 value You can check the values your system has at ths site https://www.speedguide.net/index.php select the TCP/IP Analyzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project51 Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 You have to change the MTU of your Router/Modem !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 15, 2006 CID Share Posted January 15, 2006 I put in settings for the registry but I agree with project51 if the router or modem has lower settings it will change the MTU & MSS to those settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
