MicDaFLip Posted March 23, 2006 CID Share Posted March 23, 2006 Does anybody with a MacBook Pro know of a program for OS X Tiger that is equivalent to WinXP's CableNut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicDaFLip Posted March 24, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad there's a place out there where people can answer each others questions and help out. Well, I've installed BroadbandOptimizer-1.5 on my MacBook Pro, and ran some tests on this site and at miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/ but I'm still pulling weak speeds. I should be pulling down 15mb/s, (~14.5 mb/s in reality) and throwin' out 2mb/s, (~1.8mb/s). I've tweaked the recvspace both TCP & UDP but I'm still only getting ~1.4mb/s both ways. Frustrating! I know this computer can achieve that because I had it one time. I recently formatted my HDD to my liking to remove all the junk Apple throws in. Is it possible that my software firewall (Intego NetBarrier X4) could be causing the problem? I ask this because I achieved my true speed prior to installing this firewall. However, I cannot replicate my supposed bandwidth when the firewall is disabled. Any thoughts? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j3grizz Posted April 11, 2006 CID Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yes the firewall very easily could be blocking you somehow. Have you tried uninstalling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
