mklou Posted February 13, 2005 CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 Well if you cant reach 90% of your ISP advertised speed you might have a problem. Luckely that problem can be fixed in most cases by tweaking your windows registry. There are alot of tweak programs out on the internet, too bad not all does the job right. When you need help with tweaking then add these things in your post. 1. What OS are you running, ex win 98, win xp, if you have XP make sure you have SP2 installed! Also download the p2p fix for SP2 here https://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497 2. What service do you have, what is the advertised speed for download/upload. 3. What tweakprograms you already got installed, and run this test http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted February 13, 2005 CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 hey mklou and welcome to the forum quote from http://dslnuts.com/tips_tricks.shtml " HOW TO SET THE PROPER NIC DUPLEX SETTINGS: Win98/ME: to change to half-duplex: * Open Control Panel. * Double-click Network. * From the scrollable list, select your Ethernet adapter (rather than any dial-up) with a green icon. * Click the button Properties. * Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front: * In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation, or 10BT, or 10BaseT. * In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says half-duplex or semi-duplex, or ( at least does not say full-duplex [e.g. 10BaseT on its own is OK]. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with half-duplex, choose the 10. Do not choose 10Base5, 10Base2, or AUI. * Click OK to exit the Adapter settings. * Click OK all the way out - you might need to restart. Windows 2000 or XP: to change to half-duplex: * Open Control Panel. * Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections. * Identify the icon for your cable modem connection: usually Local Area Connection. * Right-click that icon and select Properties. * Under the ethernet adapter icon, click the button Configure. * Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front: * In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation, or 10BT, or 10BaseT. * In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says half-duplex or semi-duplex, or ( at least does not say full-duplex [e.g. 10BaseT on its own is OK]. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with half-duplex, choose the 10. Do not choose 10Base5, 10Base2, or AUI. * Click OK to exit the Adapter settings. * Click OK to exit the Connection properties.

mklou Posted February 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hi VanBuren, Thank you for your reply. also would like to apologize for not informing my OS earlier that you need to provide variation in your answers to me. Btw, I am using WinXP Pro, SP2. Ok, further to you answers, would need to clarify as the example given in your post are different from what I had in my PC. The below are the setting options I have available under the network controller properties. In Property Box: Speed/Duplex Settings In Value Box: i) AutoNegotiate for 100FD ii) AutoNegotiate for 100HD iii) AutoNegotiate for 10FD iv) AutoNegotiate for 10HD v) Force 10 Full Duplex vi) Force 10 Half Duplex vii) Force 100 Full Duplex viii) Force 100 Half Duplex xi) Full Negotiation My existing setting is "Full Negotiation". What setting is the correct one? Thanks in advance for the guidance Cheers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set your NIC duplex mode to " vi) Force 10 Half Duplex" for Cable, for DSL it depend on the ISP service unless you are using a router, if so then set it to "vii) Force 100 Full Duplex" for both Cable & DSL VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mklou Posted February 13, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 13, 2005 Thanks both for your comments. Did alteration to the settings to option (iv). Not sure weather the modem is set to "bridge" or "router" mode, or the settings are controlled by the ISP. Tested the speed, slight improvement!!! Thanks for the guidance.
