New 'Dial-up' Speed Record

[ROM-DOS]

Turned off 'FireWall' ~ here's what I got

~ PLEASE EXPLAIN ~

Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[cholla]

ROM-DOS :I did this test at a different NDT site because its the only one that gives results in Mb/s when the results are below 1 Mb/s.as you can see much slower than yours.

TCP/Web100 Network Configuration Tester v5.1.1

click START to begin

Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  Done

running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 0.12Mb/s

running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 0.11Mb/s

You are connected to a 100 Mbps Full-Duplex link

I don't know how to explain all the results in the NDT test.I use it mostly for a speed test.

The 2 results are upload & download speed.I use it for the RTT since my ISP blocks ping it

gives me an indication of latency.It also reports packet loss.

If you want to try what I beleive is the largest possible RWIN(for fun) At least I couldn't

get the analyzer test below to give me the unscaled Receive Window on anything larger.I

think in XP you need to change it in these 3 cablenut settings for it to work.

DefaultReceiveWindow =65781760

GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize=65781760

TcpWindowSize=65781760

https://www.speedguide.net/ TCPIP Analyzer

MTU = 1500

MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460

Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 65781760

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 10 bits (scale factor of 20)

Unscaled Receive Window = 64240

RWIN is a multiple of MSS

Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of

256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

64240 (MSS x 44) 

bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2631270.4 kbps (328908.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1052508.16 kbps (131563.52 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 55 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

how?

ROM-DOS : I would like to know some of your other system settings.

What modem do you use?

What settings have you made to your modem Like extra string settings Or other ?

Could you put in a screen shot of your Cablenut Adjuster(Manual tweak screen)?

[ROM-DOS]

      PCI SoftV92 Modem

with a Conexant Systems Driver

  ~ CXT ~ version 7.16.0.51

COM 4 ~ Port Speed 115200

No Extra initialization commands

          WindowsXp SP2

          AMD Athlon XP 2500+

          512 Ram

I switched from Modem Hardware compression(turned it off)

to Software compression(windowsXP automatically does this for you)

and went from around 20-30 % Hardware Comp.

to over 50% with Windows Software Comp.

the other thing I've noticed when downloading from

~ let's say ~ Microsoft - is my speed starts out at 160+Kbps

then slowly keeps dropping down to around 10-6Kbps.

how do you up-load a screen shot of Adjuster?

[netmasta]

 

how do you up-load a screen shot of Adjuster?   

Make sure that window is active (in front) then press Alt + Printscreen. Then open Paint, press Ctrl + V and Save As... a .jpg.

Note: Alt+ PrntScrn takes a screen shot of just the current window. To get the whole screen just press PrntScrn.

[ROM-DOS]

anyway, this is the best I can do in copying Adjuster

Print screen aka 'PrntScrn' is to the right of the F12 key right above the 'insert' key. It could be in a totally differend place if you're on a laptop.

[cholla]

ROM-DOS: netmasta's Instructions are pretty good.My print screen button also has Sys Rq on it it is between F12 & scroll lock button.If Ctrl + V doesn't work for you  Left click on the white screen in paint then use edit & paste then save as .jpg.Save to MY Pictures. Then when you post at testmy select additional options at the bottom of the post screen then Browse to MY Pictures & click the screen shot then post.Paint is in StartPrograms Accessories

hey ROM-DOS this is completely off topic but i see your having the same problem i was having on my old pc

[cholla]

ROM-DOS : I have my modem set to software even made sure the com port was set to soft in win.ini.I use com 3 but thats just a slot change & shouldn't make a difference if there is no resource conflict.The NDT shows your window scaling on

[ROM-DOS]

cholla: I reset my CN Adjuster and turned off about ten services I had running

[cholla]

ROM-DOS : your speed still looks good there sure is a lot of difference in the 2 cablenut screen shots.Odd that you get good speed both ways.

yeah, I'm just afraid if I didn't use CableNut ~ my speeds wouldn't be so good ~ lol

maybe I'll clear my Adjuster Settings and reboot

and to see 'the difference'  - if any?

~ it would be funny if my 'Settings' didn't really make a difference ~ lol

~ I really think it has to do with all the Registry 'tweaks' I've done. ~

. . .but, I still think I have alot of unnesesary 'network' services running

      in the background?

It is amazing, though!  ~ ...everytime I disable something  ~ I think - is that the one that's

helping my speed ~ lol

My theory is that ~ Windows Explorer is just 'One' Window

with multible 'views' (and way too much crap)  ~ including IE ~ so what really matters

is how fast you can get your system  ~ running 'Windows'

...and that's alot of Registy tweaking and maintianing a clean 'system'

I use 'System Mechanic 5 Professonal' to clean, tweak and maintain

everything on my computer ~ it's absolutly the 'best' ~

and now to do that Defrag ~ I've been updating all my 'programs'

and general 'house cleaning'

I tested three times without any settings in CableNut ~ Adjuster

all three were the same.

just found my  'Cablenut Settings Definitions: text'

I'm gonna try adding one setting at a time and test

. . .I have a feeling that maybe only around 10 or so settings

    really have an impact on connection speed 

[cholla]

ROM-DOS: I agree with the clean lean system.When you are done testing cablenut post a screen shot of the leaned down one.when you did it without settings in cablenut it probably used the windows defaults.

I'm wondering if my speeds are in due to my browser?

I just started using Avant Browser a few weeks ago

and I just up-dated - made a new skin and did a download test here

thats a great dial-up speed, how much do you pay for that.... :haha:

[cholla]

ROM-DOS: I've never tried the Avant I read about it some probably a year ago.I already have IE of course & Fire Fox so I haven't decided to add another browser to my OS but if that iss  the reason for your speed I would try it.What happens if you test with IE?

[EvilNightHawk3]

Do a tracert to Testmy.net and do a ping test to , doubt your dial up is good and you probably have google accelerator , plus dial up is crap and your not going to hit above 64k
