Hi Valhalla,

Yes, that should be enabled by default. This will show you how to enable it again.

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

so if i haven't done anything except read the settings via netsh interface tcp show global, and i get highlyrestricted, what does this mean for Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit.

sorry, now i know it just means that windows will adjust my settings but in a very conservative fashion.
Oh and it seems that the Chimney Offload setting is off when the network card dosent support the diversion of load from the processor to the NIC.

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Hi VistaLava,

I have updated the tutorial to include more information about what the settings mean and do. It's a bit techy, but it's about as simple of an explanation that I can make it to help explain them without to many boring details.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Hi,

I just tried this improvment to my OS, but i was very surprised, because all this mentioned features was disabled by default. I've never done any changes.



But myabe this can be caused by few changes in the services ( followed from your tutorial above " Disable Unused Vista Services " )

Can be this caused due this tweaking of services?

Thanks in advice.

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Hi TorchMan, and welcome to Vista Forms.

I have not seen this caused by disabling Services before. I have quite a few disabled and do not have this.

This command will enable the Chimney Offload State.

netsh interface tcp set global chimney=enabled


The ECN and RFC should be disabled by default.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level

Hi. I've talking about this problem whit my friend, and he said, this turned on feature can help, when you runnning at speedy internet connection ( our connection is ADSL type whit proclaimed 8Mb/s ) because ISP should have a appropriate hardware.

But anyway i try to compare this two settings and tell you my impressions....
____________

Okay, i've tried this and i must say, the enabled Auto-tuning and Chimney offload state fits better for me. I got better results on public speed test servers, ftp connections or only on our home LAN.

Thank you a lot Brink, cos thanks to this tutorial i've discovered this windows feature.

Whit big respect
