816_1443013898 Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 I just re-installed my O/s then installed TCP Optimizer As I always do then performed a few upload tests each showing 2kB/s...Wow I know! Then Added this registry Tweak as below.......... And KAZZZZZAM! a blazing 4kB/s. It is proven to double the upload speed as they say. It's real easy to do . So give it a try [glow=red,2,300]" Yes You To Tommy Gorman"[/glow] Be sure to try the 18000 and 17a00 Values and if it dosn't work for you Simply Delete the Value> registry tweak has been found and tested to improve upload speeds on Satellite Return Systems. The only problem is that it only pertains to certain operating systems, with certain processors, with certain amounts of memory. This tweak requires modifying the registry, so please be sure to back up your registry before doing any of these modifications. This tweak has been extensively tested, and has not shown any signs of being problematic with any system. The details for the certain systems that this works on are below, but don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostmaster Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hughes doesnt have control over the DW4000's like they do with the 6000 and above. Tweaks work with the 4000 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fikester Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 why are the 4000's all of a sudden not getting 2000 or 2500 down anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 Probably because they are crowding all off them on the same gateways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

816_1443013898 Posted December 31, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 I run 2 gigs of ram. In my sig. I can run up to 4 gigs. If you can't beat them, choke them out. Bastages. my sig says 1G. and it worked for me.. May I remind you this is an Opeating System Registry Tweak... nothing directly to do with the modem.

fikester Posted December 31, 2006 CID Share Posted December 31, 2006 Probably because they are crowding all off them on the same gateways... If these "operating system" tweaks work so well why did the 4000's all drop in speed.....if this were a gateway issue the speeds would go back to the 2200+ speeds the 4000's were getting awhile ago during the off peak hours.....bottom line is Hughes pays big money for the BW and they are not going to allow it to flow that easily. There is another web site that pretty much explains this can not be done and is in short useless to mess with these tweaks. hint: for hughes users wanting to faster.....shell out the greenbacks to Germantown, MD after all your operating system does get plugged into the Hughes modem which does have true control of the speed here read it for yourself...... http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite/8._Self-Hosted_Systems-DW4020-6000-7000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 The difference here is that the DW6000 and above HAVE their own OS, and simply act as an active gateway router. The DW4000 is just like a passive modem, so any tweaks to the OS pass on through the modem. OS tweaks don't work on the DW6000 and above, because once the information passes through D6k+, it is transmitted with whatever TCP settings are used on the DW6K+. When I say could be putting them on the same gateways, I don't mean they are necessarily clogging the drain. If all of the modems on a specific gateway are DW4000 or below, they could limit the bandwidth on the actual gateway, since they can't control the modem. They don't have to do that with the DW6K+ because they can control the bandwidth on the modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 As a matter of fact, the link you provided backs up what I just said... <blockquote> "Can I Tweak My Self-Hosted System? (#8500) The short answer is, not much. Explanation: <b>The way your computer connects to the Internet when using a DW6000 or DW4020 is significantly different than it would with a non-self-hosted system like a DW4000. Instead of a direct connection to Internet servers, your computer connects through the appliance. The appliance itself maintains the connection to the external server and buffers both incoming and outgoing data. This precludes the use of the standard TCP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
816_1443013898 Posted January 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Almost every computer user has different Internet connection conditions. Some users have very high-speed connections, while others have slow connections. Some users have high-speed connections using cable-based technologies, while others have high-speed connection through DSL-based technologies. On top of these differences, some are located farther away from their local network switching station than others and have a higher latency (delay) on their connections because of the distance the data has to travel. All of these different connection conditions make every user unique. [glow=red,2,300]The TCP/IP protocol settings can be optimized for best speed under each of these situations. By default, Windows XP has these settings set in a "one size fits all" approach. [/glow] As I mentioned earlier, Windows has to be abstract in certain areas because of its broad user base. Because of this approach, many users can fine-tune their settings to be optimal for their connection conditions. Doing so will optimize the data transferred so your network connection will be more efficient, leading to high speeds. With a little help from some fine online tools and software programs, you can test your Internet connection and decide what needs fine-tuning. The process of tweaking your Internet connection is not always easy, but it is doable. Caution: Before going any further, you are strongly advised to create a system restore point, so that if things go wrong, which is not very likely, you will have a backup. The next step in the tweaking process is to get all of the software that is needed. The main software program that you will use is called CableNut, which is developed by CableNut Software and is available for free at www.cablenut.com. CableNut is a great program that allows users to edit their Internet settings easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Pretty much true when they own the sat's. They will find a way around it. But I almost got in on some of those blazing speeds. But instead I own 2 worthless 4000 modems in my closet from ebay. Bastages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
