Not reaching 90% of advertised speed of 1.5mb MAx only reaching 80% 1.2mb
I was using RoadRunner cable modem and was getting speeds of more than 2.5mb
I just switched over to SBC-Yahoo DSL to save some cash each month. I'm hoping I can get to at least 1.5 or more so your help is appreciated!!

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.


I have ALL of the latest Windows 98SE Updates!

Hello and thanks for the responce,

Here is the link to my last test,

http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:2666353?service=dsl&speed=1.5&os=win98SE&via=normal

I reinstall the speedguide tweak for win98sepppoe

Also my connection went down and i was able to speak to a line tech and he told me that because of the limitation of the 1.5mb that I subscribe to that i would not get any speeds faster than 1.1 or 1.2mb. To get any faster I would have to subscribe to the 3mb level and then i would only get about 2.5mb because of the tcp, atm overhead

However, if  you know how to get me to 1.3-1.5 i would be very happy indeed!

there is no way for me to help if you start reinstalling tweaks when i told you to clean up, follow the suggestions from previous post again, that was meant to clean up so i could see your settings as default, do not reinstall that speedguide tweak

VanBuren

no problem, this was exactly what i was asking for

download this attached file, unzip it to C:\Program\Cablenut

open cablenut, in top left corner you see file, click load custom settings file, browse to C:\Program\Cablenut and dupple click on the file you unzipped

now click save to registry

reboot your pc and post score again

also make a new tweaktest and post URL adress

VanBuren

try this, open cablenut, change DefaultRcvWindow and GlobalMaxTcpWindoSize from 63888 to 37752 and click save to registry

now reboot and test speed again

sign up here http://www.dslreports.com/tools

and make a linequality test

"Line Packet Loss Testing
Packet loss tests on your line, including identification of any problem routers en-route to you.."

its free

when you see result, copy URL adress from your browser and paste it here

make sure your pingable during test, disable firewall or config it to allow ICMP echo requests

VanBuren

looking good, also test speed here http://e2epi.internet2.edu/ndt/ndt-server-list.html
