very frustrating internet connection.....

[bent240LV]

ok for a little while the internet connection was pretty good i should have just elft it alone but we all know you cant just leave it a lone. originaly i was just using VanBurens tweaks and tht worked good ( you should have seen the improvement on my sisters computer OMG) then i got vonage and am using the linksys RT31PT router and i notices that my test scores on ceartain forums especialy testmy.net declined. so i dont know what to do i tried most if not all the tweaks on speegguide as well. oh well here are some test results. oh i keep getting the duplex error on this test so im not sure what setting to use. thanks

my connection is 4/256 and runnning on win xp everything updated and virus free adn all that good stuff.

The theoretical network limit is 53.78 Mbps

The NDT server has a 105.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 4.19 Mbps

Your PC/Workstation has a 62.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 2.50 Mbps

The network based flow control limits the throughput to 2.52 Mbps

hey bent240LV

try restoring your registry with cablenut

open cablenut, click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry and reboot

also set your NIC to 100Mbps full duplex

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 make a new test
