Zechtor Posted March 24, 2005 CID Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hello everyone, While trying to fix an unrelated problem i noticed that i had an unusually low download speed. I found this website and upon running the download tester i encountered very disturbing results: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 331 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 40 kB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Test Time:: Thu Mar 24 2005 17:16:35 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) Bottom Line:: 6X faster than 56K 1MB download in 25.6 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 8.25 % of your hosts average (mindspring.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-MYF9N1RI8 I would really appreciate any help with this matter, i had no idea my dowload connection was running so poorly. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechtor Posted March 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 24, 2005 Arg, i noticed that i spelled assistance wrong in the title. Anyhoot, i have read through some more of these post and have some more information to help anyone brave enough to help tackle this: First off, i have gone through Van's first sticky and followed those steps. I downloaded the cablenut program (my registry had all blanks for those values javascript:void(0); Question ) and i uploaded what looked to by the lowest css file. That dl speed is up from 20kb/s so it is at least some imporvement. My advertised speeds by my carrier are 3000kbps downstream and 384kbps upstream. Finally, i was forced to recently uninstall my ethernet driver and it was replaced by winxp defaults. I searched online and they seem to be newer than the newest drivers offered by the system though. I have no idea what kind of effects this uUn-installation might have had.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted March 24, 2005 CID Share Posted March 24, 2005 hey Zechtor and welcome to the forum first try this download this attached file and unzip it, dubbleclick on it and click save to registry and reboot now, bypass your router and connect your PC direct to modem, power cycle your modem, leave it off for 30 full seconds make a new speedtest VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zechtor Posted March 28, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 Here is that url you requested http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:3d52782?service=cable&speed=3000&os=winXP&via=normal You seem to be very knowledgable on these broadband issues, if you don't mind me asking, do you work in this field? Curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted March 28, 2005 CID Share Posted March 28, 2005 hey Zechtor no i dont work out in the field, never has i learned to tweak by pure curiosity, so ive been reading alot about this subject in other forums and sites. The best site, that cover most is www.dslnuts.com and https://www.speedguide.net/ these guys are awesome you seem to drop packets, so lets take your PC back to default settings and we will work from that download Dr.Tcp http://www.dslreports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe now open Dr.Tcp, make sure it look exactly like this attached picture, click save ( if you see values in any field, use delete key to erase them ) now open Cablenut, click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry set your NIC to 100 Mbps full duplex on your NIC when using the router, if your not using a router, set the duplex to 10 Mbps half here is a guide how to set duplex settings 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." now reboot and make a new speedtest, use the 2992 KB test VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
