Guest PeePs Posted November 8, 2004 CID Share Posted November 8, 2004 Well, I was uploading a large file to my website, and I noticed that my upload always goes quite a bit past the score i get at testmy, but then it is slowed down then goes back up then slows down.... It looks like I'm capped at 75 KB/s now (used to get 250 KB/s), but most people don't spike up past their cap speeds do they? Maybe my upload cap didn't get lowered, it's just come bad tweaking/spyware/viruses? Oh yeah, and those spikes of ABOVE cap speed last like 5 seconds....

VanBuren Posted November 8, 2004 CID Share Posted November 8, 2004 I think it looks like problems with flowcontrol, or big packetloss what tweaks are you using? also make a tracert to that server. VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that your overall average here is 70 KB/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeePs Posted November 8, 2004 CID Share Posted November 8, 2004 Well, my average upload in FTP is probably about the same..... maybe 75 KB/s. Actually at the moment I think I don't have any tweaks because I didn't do them right or something, so I just deleted the tweaks and let Windows do waht it wants lol.... I still swear its my MTU that's F'ing with my uplaod and download speeds. Is it true that you need all the computers on a network to have the same MTU? Because my Win98 one has it at 1420, so this one is at that too. I tried switching it to 1500 on both (but at different times) and it seemed to set itself back at 1420, which seems way too low. All the tweaks say that I should raise my MTU to 1500 too. Is it possible that a virus/spyware can jack with your MTU? My computer is crazy full of spyware right now because I'm too lazy to run adaware ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted November 8, 2004 CID Share Posted November 8, 2004 Sometimes MTU sets lower in router, try unplugging router and connect modem to pc, and run a new tweaktest. Also i heard that you can set MTU in some routers, look in manual. MTU is also depending on ISP, to be sure connect direct to modem and no router, then you should see what MTU your ISP has, cos windows has MTU detection on by defult. good luck VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PeePs Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Oh yeah, before I try directly connecting my modem.... I remember that I already tried it once and i couldn't get the internet to work (only tried like 2 minutes). I tried my settings for when I'm using the router, and then I tried having it fine its own IP and ****, and it didnt work . Shouldn't it be able to find the write settings with nothing but the cable hooked up? I swear it could before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 after you disconnect it from the router, and into the modem you gotta unplug both the router an dthe modem, as well as turn off your computer. Then hook directly to the modem, plug it in, let it do it power cycle things, then turn on your comp. { but do not plug back in the router. } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luwigie Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 .s1 is right. Go into your network adapters properties, select TCP/IP, and set everything to automatically get... Next, shut down your computer, and unplug your modem. Plug your computer directly into the modem, and power the modem back up, makeing sure that the modem has been down for at least 10 seconds. Turn on your computer and it should work. The reason that you have to power cycle the modem is each network device has a unique MAC (media access control) address. When the modem initializes, it will only communicate with the MAC address of the device it found when it started up. Since your router and NIC have different addresses, you have to power cycle to make the modem communicate with your NIC instead of your router. Good luck.

Guest PeePs Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ok i tried directly connecting my modem to this PC, and i ran the tests with basically the same results..... MTU was still at 1420, and i tried using the TCPoptimizer to change it and when i restarted it was still 1420. So does this mean my ISP won't allow it to go to 1500? I did the tweak tests again and it still said my MTU was too small... BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[/quote'] Make sure do disable all tweaks before you run that tweak test, 1 st open TCP optimizer and click custom settings, delete the MTU value so field is blank for all your Network adapters, now click save, do not reboot Now open cablenut and click delete all cablenut tweaks, and click save to registry, now all your settings is set to defult reboot and test again VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
