LLXX Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Google "TCP parameters" to get started. Maybe the recieve window or the MTU isn't set correctly.I haven't noticed any sort of limitations with my machine (built-in Realtek 8139 NIC), I've gotten >1.1MB/s with FlashGet.

Atmosphere XG Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) Hi all,I need help tweaking my machine to handle 10MBPSIt seems to be limited to 2MBPS.I had a tech use his laptop from my connection and he got 9.8MBPSCould this be my LAN card or is it a Registry tweak?I have a Dlink DFE-530TX Rev.C PCI Fast Ethernet Lan Please helpI'm getting 9.6 mbps and, I'm on Windows 98 First Edition. You may want to check your Ethernet Card. Mine goes only up to 10 mbps. However, once I upgrade, I should be able to get up to 15 mbps. Even before I tweaked my connection settings, I was getting 6.66 mbps.So, check your Ethernet card limitation.

kartel Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Countach69 your the man!I fixed it up good with your directions, thank you very much. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It actually worked? That's interesting... the TCP Analyser claimed my TCP window size was too small (8760) and the maximum speed I could get was 43Kb/s. I've downloaded at several hundred kilobytes per second before (sometimes even several MB/s), so something's not right... did the procedure Countach69 suggested and tried downloading some hueg files from M$ which I've gotten >1MB/s before, but it dropped down to less than 16Kb/s... Set the TCP window size back to 8760 and rebooted, instantly got >1MB/s again from same file Maybe it only works with certain connection types, I'm on 128M fiber connection.
