NeeDSpeeD Posted June 23, 2005 CID Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wow! I certainly hope you backed everything up first. From my experience, an MTU of 1500 is what should be used with the DW6000. I also see you changed your TCP receive/send window from 1460 to 1500? No wonder your SpeeD is suffering. Do yourself a favor and go back to the original settings and get everything back the way it was. I would make sure IE is running as well as possible before delving into FF. Also, be advised with new DW6000's, it can take as long as a month before NOC can (supposedly) fine tune your DW6000. When playing around with any kind of tweaks and optimizers, be careful. Yes, they work well, but make sure to read and educate yourself prior to using them. A finely tuned DW6000 should net you SpeeDs from 850 Kbps to 1050 Kbps. Some folks around here have hit 1300 Kbps. :::..

turner7205 Posted June 24, 2005 CID Share Posted June 24, 2005 I dont mean to butt in but when you say "fine tune" your DW600 what does that all entail? Ive had direcway for about 3 weeks and its running great. So does that mean they are just giving me speed untill my month is over or whats the deal?? I usally see around 1200kbps and the actual download speed varies. Cant hold a good download speed when downloading files. :::..

johnrgil Posted June 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thanks for the replys, After reading much more I' learned the DW 6000 can not be tune very much and the software DW offers should be installed but at present I can not regester for MYDirecway to download the program and setup my E=mail. A eng. from DW will call me in about 5-7 days. Ha Ha. Thanks, johnrgil PS After cleaning my system back to getting 400-500 connections & 50-60 DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear of adware/spyware. Direcway believe it or not does try to fine tune your connection, when discussing the DW6000. That means the NOC optimizes your DW6000 in a manner they believe will give you the best possible connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, johnrgil PS After cleaning my system back to getting 400-500 connections & 50-60 DL johnrgil, Hate to see ya have these kinds of problems. The software I believe your talking about is the LCCU. This utility did help my connection when I used a DW6000. As far as waiting 5 to 7 days for DW to call, that's B.S. Call them and tell them to prorate your bill until they feel like calling you! I guarantee they'll call right away. When money's involved, people listen, usually lol!

cholla Posted June 24, 2005 CID Share Posted June 24, 2005 just FYI cholla, the test reads the MTU ans MSS from the DWay proxy servers, which is 1460 and 1420, respectively. I could change my MTU to anything and I wouldn't see a difference on the test... I thought the quote from php might tell you why your mtu is 1460.

NeeDSpeeD Posted June 24, 2005 CID Share Posted June 24, 2005 I thought the quote from php might tell you why your mtu is 1460. Hey cholla, I thought that particular test wasn't applicable to Direcway users. Anyway, I have done some extensive testing with my connection and an MTU of 1500, MSS of 1460 have shown to produce much better SpeeDs, at least for me. The correct RWIN can also help out quite a bit. Thing about Direcway is, everyone's system is a little different. 256960 works very well although I haven't used that value for awhile.

cholla Posted June 24, 2005 CID Share Posted June 24, 2005 NeeDSpeeD; I had someone do the test then php sent me the reply I quoted.I don't have Dway & didn't know.I woud say since it gives the proxy MTU & MSS it doesn't work correctly for Dway.
