drake Back to back MVM join:2002-06-10 Bridgeport, CT	drake MVM 2004-Apr-13 11:30 pm Do you get the same speed results with your other PCs connected to the network? --- I'd call Comcast to make sure there isn't any problems in the area, etc. and that you are getting maximum speeds with your service.

Jay_Are J.R. Premium Member join:2004-04-10 Sicklerville, NJ	Jay_Are Premium Member 2004-Apr-13 11:52 pm I acutally got the Comcast Networking Package installed today and I have discussed the download speed with the tech guy. He performed a speed test and resulted about 3200kbps and then proceed to call the main office to check if there are problems and they could not find any. I have tweaked my connections with Cablenut and Dr. TCP specifically for 3000kbps/256kps settings. Could this be a problem with the Comcast Home Networking package. If it is do you know any settings for the Comcast HN.

sleepy22 join:2003-09-05 Minneapolis, MN	sleepy22 Member 2004-Apr-14 6:13 am I think I might be having the same problem...right now on your test I have a simple 390k download is that normal or should I be getting double that?? Even worse do I have to upgrade my service to get to the nine hundred speed? I have a new system from just the past month and I'm connecting threw a ethernet card.

Instead of DU Super Controller I'm using my Netscreen 5XP (I manage the bandwidth of all of the computers in my home network that way). I think that there is some Linux based router software available that will let you do bandwidth limiting/traffic shaping too. (If I didn't already have the 5XP I would probably have gone that route) Without the traffic shaping I get results almost exactly like JR_U's. With the traffic shaping it is more like JeepMatt's, though not quite as good. (510 K Bytes per second if I recall correctly)

MrRuckus8 join:2004-01-30 Portland, OR	MrRuckus8 to SeattleMatt Member 2004-Apr-14 1:18 pm to SeattleMatt JeepMatt, question. How are you pingable? Im assuming you maybe have the Pro package? Im on the HN package and have been trying to find a way to make myself pingable, but I dont see anyways of doing so within the comcast supplied Linksys Modem/Router unit. Know of a way with this unit? heh.

SeattleMatt Streaming Tech Director Premium Member join:2001-12-28 Seattle, WA	SeattleMatt Premium Member 2004-Apr-14 1:23 pm Mr R- I always assumed you made yourself pingable on YOUR computer end of things, not through the router. But yes, I am on the HN package. I never changed anything after they hooked me up with the Gateway.
