Cable Nut

I downloaded cablenut and I can't seem to get it to work; worse I've lost my original registry setings.
Any advice on what values I might manually plug in to speed up my connection and/or what my original settings could be? Thanks, Mike.

I downloaded Tweakdun. It will not install: says It needs Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime files, offers a site to download the files and they will not download. Thanks, Mike.

 

Heh. not sure if it makes things even more confusing but I would recommend using Dr. TCP :

Also read the FAQ for the program :

Btw. kind of weird that TweakDun recommends a MTU of 576. I thought 1500 is the Internet standard now.

 

not for dialup..

 

But then it has to be the ISP which has a lousy Dialin-Connection, since I can ping most internet sites with 1500 MTU, so the routers creating the Internet can handle this size.

 

Cablenut

I did download the runtime files and tweakdun did install and run O.K. I also noticed that after I go download classical iliterature with Winmx, I can connect my modem to my freenet server but I cannot get mail nor browse. I must restart windows, before IE will work. Wonder what thats about? Anyway< thanks for the help, Mike.

 

It seems that the key to installing CableNut is to first and foremost back up the registry.

I just downloaded CableNut and I am anxious to try it out. What I am not anxious to do is screw up my registry as I do not know how to fix it. So I had better not let it get screwed up in the first place.

 

Agree with Snakefoot, re DrTcp.
DrTcp is the simplest way of changing settings. It is NOT for testing varying settings, though. For any program that alters your Internet connection settings, MAKE SURE you write down each, and every, setting, especially your INITIAL settings, so you can get back to the original settings if you stuff things up.
