MSS = 1460 Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS. Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits (scale factor of 4) Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 64240 RWIN is a multiple of MSS Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS: 513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) <-- current value 128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 64240 (MSS x 44) bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test): Your TCP Window limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms Your TCP Window limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON Time to live left = 53 hops TTL value is ok. Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00100000 (32) Precedence (priority) = 001 (priority) Delay = 0 (normal delay) Throughput = 0 (normal throughput) Reliability = 0 (normal reliability) Cost = 0 (normal cost) Check bit = 0 (correct, 8th checking bit must be zero) DiffServ (RFC 2474) = CS1 001000 ( - class 1 (RFC 2474).

tommie gorman Posted October 11, 2006 CID Share Posted October 11, 2006 The site seems to be working fine for me. http://www.cablenut.com/ http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Also this has something to do with it. "Test Time:: 2006/10/10 - 6:22pm". Try much later or earlier. And you might read here also before doing the others. "Achieve the Best Performance Out of Your Computer" http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257 One more important thing, Welcome to the forum Dragonbreak Enjoy your stay.

tommie gorman Posted October 11, 2006 CID Share Posted October 11, 2006 Sorry, I use TCP Optimizer. Wish I could help. *as he crawls under a bush to think* The newest and largest number I assume. "VanBurens_cablenut_settings_version_9.zip" Obviously for cable and XP, and I am not sure after that. I think that is it. No? Maybe speeds differ? It is not opening up for me either, so I was just guessing. "404 - Attachment Not Found" Hope you find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
