Help Me Im Confused!

[gaun]

i went to speedguide.net and did the tcp/ip analyzer and the top two lines of the results were

MTU = 552 MTU value is too small ! consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput

MSS = 512 MSS is not optimized for broadband consider increasing your MTU value.

it sed quite alot of other stuff but i was just wondering if this is anything important and how do i change the settings it talks about. i have 1mb broadband and im runnin windows xp.

thanx

there are several tweaking programs available for windows xp such as tweaking toolbox xp, tweak-xp pro and similar progs. search for one of those and use their internet tweak options to change the settings you mentioned ;)

your maximum theoretical download speed is 128kB/sec. (1024/8)
in reality you should get about 80-90% efficiency, so your download speeds of 110-120kB/sec are about the most you can expect
