Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Had 'TCP' and 'Chimney' set to disabled for some time now. Being alerted again to the subject by new posts, I set everything back to 'normal' and it seems everything works a little smoother. Being relatively a user with moderate experience, perhaps I just got a bit overwhelmed by my new adventures with Vista HP/IE7.

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

I have a problem that i noticed 2 days ago. I have a strange delay of 30-60 seconds before any page start to load. Is not my connection since my other computer is running just fine. I have Vista64 installed on the one with the problem. Any idea what this is coming from?

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Hello Tabu and Valhalla, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You may have a IE add-on that is causing the problem, maybe a added toolbar. Use Step One in this tutorial to see if running IE with no add-ons runs fine for you. If it does, then proceed to Step Two to find out which add-on is the problem and disable or remove it.

Internet Explorer - Reset


You might also take a look at Resource Monitor to see what all is running while this happens and to see what is using the Network (step 7). You might also investigate any security program settings to see if they are interfering with it as it waits to approve it or not.

Resource Monitor


Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Should have waited with my last post because the problem returned this morning; in the middle of browsing I just lost my internet connection. Did a diagnose and repair which told me to let it remove a certain configuration and then advised me that the problem was resolved and I did indeed get my connection back but then then in Problem Reports and Solutions I found this little jewel below; perhaps someone more knowledgeable can comment, especially on the "TcpWindowScaling" part:

I'm beginning to wonder if all my browsing problems are not related to my internet service which is dry loop DSL through ATT at 6000/781 kb/s max; speed tests average 5100/650. Have had a few issues with them in the past and at one point was told that I may need to downgrade to 3000 kb/s because I'm pretty close to the limit as far as my distance to the nearest point of connection is concerned; 6900 out of 7000 feet.

I dont have any addons on IE or Firefox. I have the same problem on all browsers even in windows mail. Takes forever to connect to the mail server.

Anyway, i realized that i have this problem if utorrent is running. If utorrent isnt running then everything is fine. I have to mention that i had utorrent installed since the beginning, but i noticed this problem on the last few days. I dont have any clue how utorrent can generate such problem and not from the start. Must be another setting that changed and caused this. The only things that i did were the tweaks found on this forum and not all of them. Can be the services that i disabled? From that guide i choosed the safe ones. If anyone have more experience with Vista please advise. I tried to install another torrent client but bittorrent instalation stopped at 30% and didnt continue. I cant think on anything else than undo all the tweaks found here.

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Tabu,

It seems that you have found the problem as being with the utorrent program. You might try uninstalling it and reinstalling it to see if something was corrupt with it.

You can undo the tweaks here if you like to, but if everything works fine when you do not have utorrent running, then that must be the problem.

You might post a separate post about utorrent and this problem in one of the forums to see what suggestions you may get about it.

Hope you can get a solution soon.
