Thread: TCP Optimizer and Vista :: General Broadband Chatter :: think broadband

LOL . I can't think of a better place to be . (.co.uk wasn't available - it would have been preferable!) But they were links to TCP Optimizer pages. Bob's broadband help site: www.robertos.me.uk ISP history: Demon dialup >> Freeserve dialup >> BT Broadband >> Prodigynet >> Newnet >> O2 Standard. Purple Cloud for domain , email and web space .

In reply to a post by RobertoS : I thought Vista didn't need tweaking anyway ? The TCP Optimizer site used to say you mustn't use it with Vista. Looks like you haven't read either link. Particularly the beginning of the first one, which is why I put it as the primary link. If you read the earlier posts in this thread as well it might help. If I read all the links you post, I'd be forever on...

One setting you may be able to turn on if supported by the...

Phil MaxDSL - goes as fast as it can and doesn't read the line checker first. MaxDSL diagnostics Are your kids pirates ? Limewire, Bearshare, Kazaa, BitTorrent, eMule are all tools of the trade.

traingular graphs in windows is usually as a result of the blackhole mtu detection. This is turned on usually in vista when auto tcp tuning is enabled, not sure if it is on by default in win7 as well but in windows 7 a bug is fixed that allows you to have it disabled whilst auto tcp tuning is enabled. in XP SP3, I believe this got turned on by default as well (but was off by default in XP SP2 and older). if you interested I can provide you...
