Title: speeding up your DSL/cable Post by: Cold Warrior on December 23, 2002, 05:00:00 AM i was having problems viewing thumbnails of RW. Instead of an image i would get a red x. It seems to be solved by changing my RWIN.
On a 512k connection my settings are MTU - 1458 RWIN - 43968 Check out www.dslreports.com/tweaks for more info. Title: Changing your RWIN Post by: Cold Warrior on December 24, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to speeding up your DSL/cable, posted by Cold Warrior on Dec 23, 2002
[This message has been edited by Cold Warrior] You can make changes to your registry or download drtcp at http://www.dslreports.com/front/drtcp.html
1.Go to dslreports and do the tweak test. Make a note of your average ping (latency). 2. Go here and calculate your RWIN http://www.dslnuts.com/bitsbytes.shtml bandwith- your connection speed e.g 512 for a 512k connection or 1000 for a 1mb line. latency - your average ping as reported by dslreports. MSS - 1418 ( most ISP use cisco routers which have a MTU of 1458. MSS = MTU - 40 ). 3. calculate your optimal RWIN and enter that figure into DRTCP. The configuration of DRTCP is at http://www.dslreports.com/faq/578 Use a MTU of 1458.

I use a free ware program called "Tweak All". It is available here http://www.codeforge.co.uk/mainframes.htm . It also lets you change alot of other windows settings that can speed your computer up slightly. Don't expect to see some huge boost in the speed of your modem, but if you are using settings from your old dial up connection you should see a modest performance gain.
