flavallee,

Guessing you have Cablenut 4.08. But do you have 98SE also.

I got comcast and the speed is 4 MB so do you have the setting for that from Cablenut you can save and post here that will work for 98 and my speed.

[hewee]

Ok I installed the two files and rebooted.

But I went into the registry to change what you said to change to in post #10 http://forums.techguy.org/tech-tips-tricks/421023-faster-broadband-post3175681.html and so you know what I have now I posted it in post # 15 http://forums.techguy.org/tech-tips-tricks/421023-faster-broadband-post3176317.html

But look at the attached image and your see the D0 07 00 00.
Is that the part I change on each of the setting you listed?
Also I can not copy and paste the setting but have to delete them and type them in.
BUT see the funny looking D... to the right of D0 07 00 00 and when I high light D0 07 00 00 to delete it ot go to the right of it and use the back space to delete it when the D0 gets deleted it also deletes the funny looking D... that is to the right of D0 07 00 00.
All the setting you posted have something to the right and get deleted when I delete what is there now.
So I cancel out of it.

So is that ok for that to happen?

[flavallee]

Correct. Delete the first 4 digits after the 0000 and replace it with

01 00

02 00

03 00

04 00

depending on which one you're modifying.

Here is a screenshot of what my Windows 98SE registry looks like:

How much improvement are you guys seeing with these changes?

[flavallee]

Here is the results of a speed test on my Windows 98SE computer. The goal is to get 90% or better of your ISP's advertised speeds. In my case, the advertised speeds are 5000/384. As you can see, my computer is getting better than 90%.

Hewee:

Use these settings in Cablenut. They are based on a 4000 download speed for Windows 98/98SE/ME.

[hewee]

You got me lost now with says....

Correct. Delete the first 4 digits after the 0000 and replace it with

01 00

02 00

03 00

04 00

depending on which one you're modifying.

The D0 07 00 00 is what is after the 0000 but when I delete it it also delets what is to the right and and is that ok. Or is that what you said correct too in post #18?

Ok I think I get what your saying now. This is the image on
DnsPriority
I was deleting after the D0 07 00 00 but only need to delete the first 4 and add the 03 00 to it because the other 4 digits 00 00 to the right of it are the same

But I need to know if what is to the far right of D0 07 00 00 and what is in the other setting can ne deleted because they do get deleted when I delete the D0 07.

Hey was thnking you do a export or save or whatever of your cablenut setting and zip it up and post it. That way I can just open cablenut and go to the file and not have to fill in all the setting.

EDIT:
I made the cablenut changes. I only had to change I think 5 of the setting to make it the same as what you posted.

[Stoner]

I'd like to thank flavalle and hewee for the conversation on cablenut and speeding up broadband connections.....

I installed cablenut and used the chart you provided, flavalle.
I thought my connection was pretty decent before the changes, but there turned out to be room for improvement. A lot.

I've done the tweaking to two win98se computers.
One a Gateway P3 500 and the other a Dell P3 800. Memory the same in each ...384mb.

Oddly enough, the improvements were greater in the Gateway.
I used c|net's broadband meter.
consistancy was ok if comparisons were done back to back.

In default settings
Gateway.......900 kbps download
Dell..............800 kbps

on the tweaked settings
Gateway.......2700 kbps
Dell..............1400 kbps

Each time I cleared the cashe in Firefox before testing.
I did 3 tests and figured an average and rounded off.

I even booted to Slax on the Gateway to compare Linux....2100 kbps

Page loads are definitely snappier, but I have to admit, they didn't seem slow before.
A download of a 180 mbs at the Slax site was also faster by about 30%


Again, thanks

[hewee]

Good to hear Stoner.
Setting I made in the passed did a lot in downloads and speed test so it helped a lot.
Page loads never seem to change. But the new cablenut setting I think may have helped page loads to load faster but hard to tell right now.

Still got the regisry tweaks I have not done yet so that may or I hope make things even better. Just waiting to hear what to do so I don't screw up and then I wil make those changes.

Stoner:

Your speeds are definitely much better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hewee:

Just delete EVERYTHING after 0000, then type in the 8 digits from scratch.

01 00 00 00
02 00 00 00
03 00 00 00
04 00 00 00

Make sure to place the correct set of numbers with the correct entry.

[hewee]

OK will go over things here again and do this later when I am more awake.
Thanks

[Stoner]

mornin' flavalle

What I also found interesting in testing the connection speeds was that few of the sites I have used, agreed. The ones I posted here are from C|Net and are considerably slower than other sites, but do show a relative improvement that was quite nice.
Several other speed tests actually put me very close to the advertised claims of RoadRunner.
The improvement was very noticeable....thanks again
