Vista Tutorial - Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Hi Stat,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

If you are not having any problems with your network connection, then I would not be to concerned with it.

You can try it set as enabled and restricted to compare it to how it is running now as set to disabled to see which setting runs better for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks a lot Brink! Im not having a problem, except the other forum I frequent (which I'm a moderator of) isn't loading. I'm thinking it's because we're switching servers, but I asked around and no one else is having the same problem.

Stat,

You may be having a temporary DNS server address issue with your ISP. Try these Open DNS addresses to see if you can connect to the website with them. Just click on the Computer, or Router if you use one, and follow the instructions on how to enter the addresses into your network device properties page.

No luck with that one. Great site btw. As soon as I type in the url for my forum I get the "internet cannot display page error." But then I hit refresh and it loads S-L-O-W-L-Y and all the images do not show up.

Don't really understand the importance but in my TCP Global Parameters it shows Chimney Off load State as disabled. Never changed anything there, is "enabled" important?

Hi hdbg62,

This will help explain more about Chimney Offloading. It is recommended to have it enabled though.

Use the instructions in the tutorial above, but use these commands instead:

Enable:
netsh interface tcp set global chimney=enabled

Disable:
netsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabled

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Omfg i disabled this it was set at high and i also disabled page clearing or whatever and yea but before i did this i was at around 13MBs download and 1MB upload. Now... IM AT 30MBs download!!! But still only 1MB upload. Thank you so much you seriously make me happy ^_^. Now i can tell my friends that i almost know for a fact my connection is better than theirs lol Also i disabled the reserved bandwidth. Thank you so much again!!!

What are we talking about here? Disabled what? "TCP/IP" or "netsh interface tcp set global chimney"? Please, do reply.

Your welcome Masterjego, and welcome to Vista Forums. I'm happy to hear it.

TCP/IP but if you were referring to me i also disabled QOS Packet Scheduler and i think those two are what gave me the freakin amazing boost!

Well now i just went down to 8MBs i dont know what happened because before i made the changes last time i tested it and then made the changes and got the boost. But now i put the TCP/IP autotune setting to experimental and a decent portion of the speed came back i tried the settings i had before and nothing worked... I just dont get computers or the internet anymore lol.
