A fantastic way to speed up your Internet connection !

[gryphon]

no problem. . . I am just glad that it's not me who is talking everyone through chaning their registry. . ;)

[Warskum]

this will tell you your optimal MTU:

;D

mine ended up being 1500...no wonder it wasn't helping me becuz this is the default for most modems...lol

dozy set his to 1454 and he said that he noticed a big difference...much faster

it's differerent for different computers

I get timout, i tried from 1530-1380 and i got a few defrag, and a lot of time out.

[gryphon]

try the same command but change the host you are pinging.

try www.google.com for example. . .

[ sort of a screenshot but then smaller. ..you can make it with alt-printscreen and then just past that in Paint ]

Actually, it's just printscreen  ;)

[gryphon]

nope .. printscreen will give a print of the whole screen. . including windows bar .. desktop and other windows that are open. The option alt -printscreen will just give you the active window.

To give you an example.. . there are 2 screenshots of my current desktop.

One of the whole desktop with printscreen and one with just the Avant window open made with alt-printscreen.

printscreen

alt-printscreen

[Cyborg]

I know, but you seldom need that as you're cutting away almost everything anyway...

[gryphon]

I used to think that to. . but when you need to make how-to-guides with corresponding screenshots you tend to use alt-printscreen a lot more then needing to cut about 50 screenshots for just one manual. . ;)

[Cyborg]

hehe, when I make how-to guides, I still cut my images to show very specific areas.

However, I can't argue with you that it might be very handy to have that alt + print screen function in mind :)

this trick can work on CHELLO internet look to www.chello.pl but is PL language.

i habe 768kb/s CHELLO PLUS.

This is what I get when I try to run the MTU test.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[guusr5644]

thats what happend to me mace, just delete the "-f" thing and it'll be fine.

[Gobalopper]

Reverse the l and the f, so it would be ping www.stargate.net -f -l 1492.

[guusr5644]

Holy ****, i tried it your way gob, and now everything i try above 300 gets " Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set"... what do i do? :'(

[Necroticon]

everything above 300?!  :O what kind of modem have you got? 14.4 or something?

I tried 1454, and that did jack sh*t. So i went to the mtu test, and it turned out that my "optimal" one was 1500. I put that in, and it was slow as hell.

I deleted the "MTU" value from the registry, and now it runs faster than it used to! lmao

[guusr5644]

Thx so much for your help guys... i wont forget it....

COME ON HELP ME I DONT WANNA DIE!!!! lol i dont wanna push you but plz....[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[gryphon]

not shure if a DirectX file is gon'na help. ..what kind of internet connection do you have and which site did you try to ping ?

[guusr5644]

I got cable... 750k connection, i pinged www.stargate.com and www.tapuz.co.il (an israeli site close by)...

[gryphon]

can you do an online speedtest and see if you have about 500k downstream at least ?

[guusr5644]

500k???? the max i have ever had was 110k... ok now, tell me wtf is going on and who i should kill first...

[gryphon]

which testsite did you use ?

you might want to contact your ISP about this.

[guusr5644]

I used the testsite of my internet provider...

[Terror]

ehh you two are probably confusing each other. 750 k, or more likely a 768 k connection is only a max of theoretically 96 kilobyte down.

So if you realy does have a 768 kilobit connection then you could never have downloaded faster than 96 kbyte/second, and he definately won't reach the 500 kbite/second :) . You'd need a 4 mbit line for that.

Exactly... i know what you mean.. that's the speed i am suppose to get from my internet provider...

[gryphon]

I got cable... 750k connection

I presumed that you have a 750kilobite connection. . therefor I wanted to know if you could download things with about 500kilobite without problems..

[skillet5]

Hey, good deal,

I went from an average 3.05 kbsec to 4.0 kbsec with a peak last nit of 6.55 kbsec, damn, I didnt know that 56k could go tht fast
