DrTCP

by dirv9 . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Hi! I recently received help here for a connection problem, and in searching for answers came across a program called DrTCP. It’s a tweak tool to optimize TCP settings in the registry. I followed instructions and did a ping command—ping -f -l 1500 www.google.com, to figure out my MTU setting. The result stated: Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set. What that does that mean? Is something wrong in my settings somewhere? I was looking for the latency (average ping time in ms x 1.5) so I could set The RWin (the TCP receive window) in DrTCP. It says the default for XP ( which I’m using) is 17520, but it can be set higher to increase download speeds. The example picture has it set at 32767. But there were no reply lines in the result of the ping command, just the above packet message. So, is there something wrong I need to correct, or should I try the 32767 setting for the RWin? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
