Hi all,

I need help tweaking my machine to handle 10MBPS

It seems to be limited to 2MBPS.

I had a tech use his laptop from my connection and he got 9.8MBPS

Could this be my LAN card or is it a Registry tweak?

I have a Dlink DFE-530TX Rev.C PCI Fast Ethernet Lan

Please help

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.

Windows TCP/IP settings are far from optimal; this also includes XP.

1a-Do a download test.
1b-I like to download the Chimp Demo from ATI's website.
hxxp://www2.ati.com/misc/demos/ATI-9800-Chimp-Demo.mpg
(Replace the hxxp to http)
1c-Take note of the speed at which you are downloading.

2a-Go to the following address: hxxp://www.speedguide.net/
(Replace the hxxp to http)
2b-On the left side select: SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer
2c-This will analyze the TCP/IP settings of Windows.
2d-Look at the section labeled: bandwidth * delay product
2e-You will see the maximum bandwith your current TCP/IP provide.
2f-Take note of these results.

3a-Now, again on the left side, select: TCP Optimizer
3b-Download: TCP Optimizer
3c-Go to the middle of this webpage in the section: Microsoft Windows 9x Vtcp.386 Update
3d-Download: 236926usa8.exe

4a-Execute the Microsoft patch: 236926usa8.exe
4b-Don't reboot.
4c-Execute: TCP Optimizer
4d-Set the slider Connection Speed to: 15000 Kbps
4e-Network Adapter selection: Select your Network card
4f-Select: Optimal settings (located bottom right of the screen)
4g-Select: Apply changes, then OK and reboot.

5a-Go back to SpeedGuide.net website and redo the TCP/IP Analyzer test and look at the results.
5b-Redo the previous download test from ATI.

I'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.

Countach69 your the man!

I fixed it up good with your directions, thank you very much.

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.

Holy crap!

I did the tweaks on the speedguide and now my connection is through the roof!

SG Registry Patches and older tools <<link









HOLY #@$% I feel like a maniac now, thanks again, Countach69



Dude this is insane, I got ZAP and my router inline too, sweet hint, wow.....

I think I killed the test thing

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

I have a Motorola Wireless Network Adapter and it is 54 mbps I know they have faster
but thats good enough for me.It all depends on your network card.The more you pay the better
results are
