Merch Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 I just moved to my new place and got everything hooked up. I brought the Bell Ultra Speed and phone number with me. The thing is, now I can't even download a 4mb file in 5 mins. It's brutal. I use to beable to click the link and the file was done by the time it came up. Newgrounds... Can't even enjoy that site anymore with the load time. I could click a Flash movie a week ago and it would instantly beable to stream through with no interuptions. now I click it and it takes 10 mins to load. I don't know what the problem is, anyone know? Screenshot of SpeedTest It's like I'm capped at 17kb now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Welcome, Merch. Gotta start here, it's got everything: http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-2097 What you wanna find out is if it is a degradation in signal quality, or an issue with the software on your machine. Running some ICMP tests (tracert, pings, pathping) is a good place to start looking. Also, you can monitor netstat (netstat -ano in XP to cross-reference to PID) to keep tabs on what connections are open from and to your PC. Doing a number of these over a period of time will give you a good idea of what's happening with your connection. Have you installed any new software recently, or done any updates? Checked for spyware? Tried cablenut? Anything at all, just post here and somebody will answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Smart to remove your IPs. I assume that one is your router (hop 2), the other your modem (hop 1). There is a lot of latency between them, and that is most likely the biggest factor in your problem. A powercycle will usually resolve this, but if it creeps back up, you've got a problem. You could also do with some cablenut tweaks (your RWIN is a little low). This will increase the amount of data you can receive at a time. Check out cablenut at http://cablenut.com/ and VanBuren's custom files: http://www.testmy.net/topic-1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merch Posted September 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Tried the powercycle, don't know if I did it right, and the CableNut thing I'm a little lost with that lol. I got a few tweaks but they don't seem to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Atr the same link " http://www.testmy.net/topic-1013 " try the TCP Optimizer then, it is a lot simpler than the cablenut one. Power cycle usually means unplugging the modem for 10 seconds and touch the end of the cable to remove the static electricity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merch Posted September 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks for all the fast help. This is so crazy.

thndr143 Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm still gettin' 17kb a second after rebootin' n' doin' differnt things. Is this a cable connection? If so, are you using a on-board ethernet card? If so, try using a seperate pci ethernet card and retest again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 13, 2006 CID Share Posted September 13, 2006 Is this a cable connection? If so, are you using a on-board ethernet card? If so, try using a seperate pci ethernet card and retest again. it doesnt matter wether you use a onboard or pci eathenet card they still use the CPU to process the information so that will make no difference. Merch go into your modems control panel and get all the line stats and post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thndr143 Posted September 15, 2006 CID Share Posted September 15, 2006 it doesnt matter wether you use a onboard or pci eathenet card they still use the CPU to process the information so that will make no difference. Due to my past experiences with onboard cards, I was just passing it along that I found my onboard card to do the same thing, and therefore I offered an idea to help rectify his situation, thats all. As for using CPU for processing.. the "Onboard Network Processor" can be utilized for this. Registry Settings System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters] Value Name: DisableTaskOffload Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = Use NIC Processor, 1 = Disable NIC Processor) All my problems (all 4 of them,on four different motherboards) were due to crapped out onboard cards. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
