I also changed the RW setting to 384000 to get the pages to load faster. What else can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 hey and welcome to the forum I assume you using version 5 lets try this if you connect to a router, set your NIC to 100 Mbps full duplex if you connect direct to modem set your NIC to 10 Mbps half duplex open cablenut adjuster, change DefaultReceiveWindow to 1280000 ( this is a test ) click save to registry and reboot here is a guide how to set duplex mode on your NIC quote from http://dslnuts.com/tips_tricks.shtml "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.

sholsten Posted February 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply: I'm sorry, but I should've explained things better about my setup. I have the Motorola modem coming into my system through a USB 2.0 port. I use my ethernet to connect to my wife's computer on a home network so she can use the cable net and my printers. She's not worried about speed like I am. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sholsten Posted February 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 Thanks... I was afraid of that. I'm going to get a shower and go buy an ethernet card. Should I hook up the modem to the onboard ethernet port or to the card I'm going to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I hook up the modem to the onboard ethernet port or to the card I'm going to buy? it shouldnt matter, just set your NIC to modem in 10 Mbps half duplex and the other NIC that goes to the other PC in 100 Mbps full duplex VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholsten Posted February 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 26, 2005 Well, I finally got to put in the new card. It is a Linksys. I'm running the cable modem through the onboard NIC. I set it down to half duplex 10 and this is a typical test tonight. My wife's comp is getting net access through the new NIC on mine and she maintains 4K+ downloads almost everytime and I haven't even tweaked hers. That tells me the speed is there, but this machine evidently doesn't like the XP SP2 5000/384 cablenut settings for some reason. :::..
