IBrowse2.3 download transfer rate.

Yes, for a $10.00/month fee.

Huh? Rip-off!

By the way, did you know MiamiDX can fake the MAC address? I don't know if it'll work with an x-surf though.

[amiwalker]

Way Cooooool!


I am a registered Miami user (not MiamiDX).
As I said in my previous posts, I now use Genesis for tcp/ip. Mainly for the SSL2,3 support.


Is there any hope of increasing the speed on my connection?

I will probably buy another router to replace the sometimes faulty one that locks up from time to time.

Hi amiwalker

XSurfII with Genesis and the PPPoE driver with an ADSL connection here, so totally various of yours.

Anyway, try to go to Genesis Prefs>Option>Advanced and change the Kernel memory "Max memory", to an higher value (ie 512 or 1024).

Here has fixed some hang-up during the download of heavy pages.

Play with those value (Cluster dimention also)

Ciao

Interesting. I still don't know where the bottleneck is, I have tried everything that was sugested, except registering a new MAC address with my cable ISP provider, and getting a new router for my network.

I did upgrade the firmware on the router a while back, but I would hope that that would be a good thing as far as preformance goes.

Still confused? I am.

@amiwalker:

Hmm... not that it should make any difference, but try moving the ENVARC:Sana2/x-surf.config file to say your WORK: or similar partition and then reboot and see if it makes any difference.

You should measure the raw tcp/udp transferrates between your Amiga and pc by using ttcp to see if the Amiga is working properly on with the switch part of your router (I assume your router is one of those with one WAN-port and about 4 10/100 switched ports).

Just copying files to/from the PC, I get a transfer rate of ~40K/sec. (X-SurfII set at half duplex).

Which brings me to my next question;

If the LAN should be set for Full Duplex and
If the WAN should be set for Half Duplex,

Then how does one configure for both?

PS:
   I will try ttcp when I have the time to devote to it, I am quite busy with alot of everyday stuff.

@amiwalker:

---- Quick guide to how to use ttcp ----

- I will use amigaip instead of your Amigas ip-address and pcip instead of your pcs ip-address.

- I assume that you have installed ttcp in your path and that the executable for it is named 'ttcp'.

- You shall run ttcp from a shell/cli/command-prompt on both the Amiga and pc.

- I will call the shell/cli/command-prompt on both the Amiga and pc shell.

Below I will describe what to input in the shell and the order of it on the Amiga and pc.

To test the speed when sending tcp-packets from your Amiga to your pc:
1. PC: 'ttcp -s -r'
2. Amiga 'ttcp -s -t pcip'

To test the speed when sending tcp-packets from your pc to your Amiga:
1. Amiga: 'ttcp -s -r'
2. PC: 'ttcp -s -t amigaip'

To test the speed when sending udp-packets from your Amiga to your pc:
1. PC: 'ttcp -u -s -r'
2. Amiga 'ttcp -u -s -t pcip'

To test the speed when sending udp-packets from your pc to your Amiga. How to make this test is only included for reference. It will most likely not work as the protocol used for udp just sends packets as fast as possible without checking if it was recieved correctly. This in combination with the Amiga not being able to recieve packets as fast as the computer in the other end is sending them which usually is linespeed (100MBit in your case?) makes this test fail. Usually the Amiga doesnt even understand the test is done and the pc reports speeds of over 10MByte/Sec.
1. Amiga: 'ttcp -u -s -r'
2. PC: 'ttcp -u -s -t amigaip'

OK, I just broke my own record!

NO JOKE. :-o
