Dial-up settings These are for ME but some will be simular in XP.I hope you find some of it useful.
Download & install Cablenut;use the ccs file for your OS & connection.
I make these adjustments to Cablenut for a custom dial-up file if it doesn't make yours work better you can use the ones that
it puts in automatically.On the RWIN use the one of the settings suggested by TCP\IP analyzer for RWIN based on MSS & enable
windows scaling if you use a RWIN larger than 65535.On my Cablenut this is Tcp1323Opts set to 1to enable 0(zero) to disable.
Check your system at
http://www.[this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming]/ . Select the TCP\IP analyzer.
If it shows your MTU other than 1500 or your MSS other than 1460 you need to change it to these.
I will add this some dial-up's work better with MTU = 576 MSS = 536 so you can try these too if the larger settings slow
you down.
You can't make these with Cablenutin ME but you can set the MSS in XP cablenut .I do mine in the registry so I can't tell you how to do it in XP registry.If you have a
program that adjusts your MTU &MSS use it.
In My Computer go to dial-up networking.R.click on your connection select propertiesIn the networking tab make sure these are unchecked
NetBEUI & IPX/SPX Compatable Then in TCP/IP Settings Check Use IP Header compression.
In My Computer go to dial-up networking R.click on your connection select properties/Configurehis may be different in XP I will give you the way I do it in ME probably has the same
settings they may be located a little differently. General\Configure on the dial-up modem you are using\maximum speed to
115200.\connection\port settings\set your FIFO Buffers to Receive buffer High Transmit Buffer maximum.
advanced error control should be checked,compressed data should be checked
Use flow control should be checked,
Then it depends on the dial-up modem you have Check hardware for an external dial-up modem or an internal with on board
controller,Check software for an internal modem that uses the CPU for its controller(this is the majority of internal modems
also called winmodems.)I have found that some internal modems work better set to hardware though.
These are for mt PCTel the may not work correctly in your extra settings I recomend trying them 1 at a time & rebooting
then connect.
For extra settings try W3;S10=100;S25=100 these depend on your specific modem but these work for several.
W3 or W2 in some modems makes the modem report DCE speed instead of DTE speed.S10=100 is a hangup delay that helps keep you connected.Try
these last sometimes the ISP won't connect with the extra settings & you have to take them out.
Back to the General tab if the phone number you use for dial-up is in the same area code as you are
uncheck the use area code box.In the networking tab under advanced options check enable software compression
& under allowed network protocols uncheck everything but TCP|IP unless your dial-up uses one of the others to connect.
. Open your registry (start - run - type regedit) and change the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net\000X (where X is a number between 1 and 9)there is a value
named SLOWNET, change it from 01 to 00.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\COMBUFF it has a value called Start, change its value from 00 to 01.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VCACHE, it has a value named Start, change it from 00 to 01.
The last 2 are controversial whether the help or not they usually don't hurt performance & sometimes help.
9. Open your sys.ini file (start - run -sysedit - ME type system.ini) close the boxes until you are at the one with the title
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI,
under [386enh] add the line ComXXIrqXXbuffer=4096, XX=Com port your modem is on and Irq assigned to your modem,
it should look like (Example) Com03Irq07buffer=4096. Then select file - save and reboot to take effect.
FOR FASTER WEB PAGE LOADING:
This tweak will help web pages load faster, it has no real effect on download speeds, just helps your pc look up websites faster thereby speeding up how fast the page loads and making websurfing more enjoyable.
Navigate to this registry entry and change the following settings:
For XP & 2K
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\Tcpip\ServiceProvider
For 98, 98SE & ME
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
\VxD\MSTCP\ServiceProvider
On the right for ALL OS's change these entries: (ALL values are HEXIDECIMAL)
I have seen these both ways so use what works best for your OS
Binary values
Class = 1
LocalPriority = 1 Class=8
DnsPriority = 1 LocalPriority = 5
HostsPriority = 1 DnsPriority = 7
NetbtPriority = 1 HostsPriority = 6
NetbtPriority = 8

To change the value right mouse click on the value and select modify and enter the values above once you have done all of them reboot to take effect and see how fast your pages load.
For 98 & ME they should all look like:
01 00 00 00
In a 9x OS there are 3 places for modem settings make sure they are the same for all 3
for the dial-up modem.
1.Control Panel/Modem
2.Dial-up Networking/Properties/configure
3. System Properties/Device Manager/Modem/Properties
Start/Run/ Type win.ini go to [Ports] on the COM your modem uses mine is COM3 put either
115200 or 230400. Use p for a hardware modem or x for a software modem.(Unless you are
using hardware for the flow control on a software modem).Below is what my [Ports]
looks like.
[Ports]
LPT1:=
LPT2:=
LPT3:=
FILE:=
COM3:=230400,n,8,1,p
COM4:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM2:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM1:=9600,n,8,1,x
You can check these 2 links they are for 98 or ME you may need the patch in one of them to enable windows scaling.
