Cable Internet Tweaks for Older PCs
TCP RWIN and DefaultTTL for Windows 95/98/ME

WARNING! These tweaks are NOT for Windows Vista and XP. These cable tweaks should only be applied to older OS’s such as Windows 95/98/ME. We are NOT responsible for any damages or problems you may encounter by reading or putting to use the cable modem tweaks below – you are tweaking and proceeding at your own risk.

Start Your Registry Editor
To start the registry editor (REGEDIT), which should already be on your system, simply click Start, then click Run. Type in REGEDIT and click OK. This should popup the registry editor.

Finding the Proper Registry Folder
In your left window pane, you’ll need to open the following folders by clicking on them…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Services / VxD / MSTCP

Changing the RWIN Value
Make sure the MSTCP folder is highlighted so as to display the key values in the right panel. Double-click to open the DefaultRcvWindow key. The value to put here is the subject of much debate… some suggest a value between 32120 to 32760. Some believe it should be set much higher. You could start with 32120 and if there’s no speed increase, just experiment a little. After typing in the new value, simply click OK. BUT don’t close the editor, there’s one more key you may wish to change in this folder – see below.

Changing the DefaultTTL Value
Some believe setting the DefaultTTL key to 128 may help performance. Others prefer 64.

Now try out the new settings but please bookmark this page just in case you want to return to redo or undo a step.
