coolbuster2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 14, 2007 Update: i found out that a proxy can help speed up smart bro esp when its down if you get below 250 kbps with default, try to use: proxy.meridian.ph see if it works for you.

fr0stbound Posted August 15, 2007 CID Share Posted August 15, 2007 by "with default", do you mean without tweaks? also, post how to use proxies for our less tech savvy friends. P.S. i'm planning on switching to a Linux based OS, meaning i will lose my tweaks. but what bothers me is there is a previous post that said that his connection doesn't work for both windows and mac. i wonder if it would happen to me too.

P.S. i'm planning on switching to a Linux based OS, meaning i will lose my tweaks. but what bothers me is there is a previous post that said that his connection doesn't work for both windows and mac. i wonder if it would happen to me too. A) "default" means with tweaks. How to put a proxy: 1) Open your Internet Explorer 2) Go to Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Lan Settings 3) Check "Use a proxy server for your LAN" 4) In the Address box input proxy.meridian.ph 5) In the Port box input 8080 6) Click OK then close. C) Be careful in switching OS'es. You might end up redirected to the Smartbro portal w/c is hassle. I hope you know and have jotted down your SmartBro username and password. and of course you'll bid goodbye to your Cablenut Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19723-20-steps-to-make-smartbro-faster/page/6/#findComment-236454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0stbound Posted August 15, 2007 CID Share Posted August 15, 2007 yeah, i had that username and password hidden. i also know that i will be losing my cablenut tweaks, meaning the only thing left for me to tweak would be the canopy, which isn't enough. but i also really feel like going the less taken road, away from bill's brain child.
