Any advice from all of u (Guru's) Thanks, Kenewbie

The only services you need on the second comp are the same services you have on the first comp. So remove those extra services. Apply the same tweaks to your second comp. as you did to the first one.

Salutations Dave02, I did unistall what's not needed. Even though web paged download alot quicker as u browse. Now the other ? how do i tweak like the first 1. It came with the package perfect. I am haveing problems with my Alienware 51 u believe that u invest 3k for all this headache and Bestbuy says there is nothing wrong. Ah! excuse me it is not downloading correctly. Ah is your dsl provider they have me like a yoyo up and down. Any other advice thanks, Kenewbie

How is your second comp. networked with your first comp.? Is it networked using ICS? Or through a router? Or both? Or crossover cable? Is it too, plugged into the ISP's Modem same as your first comp.?

I'm this YahooDSL uses some acceleration software that is installed on the computer. To network it with the most efficiency, I would set it up like this using ICS on the Host Machine, and CAT5 cable.

Salutations Dave02, Looking at your response thanks once again. The 1st computer has a Router sent by sbc connected useing usb to the comp. The 2nd computer is connected by a filter and uses the phone line to make the connection. Your useing lingo that i do not understand though i will learn as i go. The router came with a disk and installed directly it did it on its own. ? Whare do i begin. Tell me what to do and i will follow your steps to the spec. Thanks Kenewbie

Does your first computer have a network card? Does you second computer have a network card? If so. Then connect both computers using a crossover cable. Then run the network setup wizard on the computer connected to the DSL modem. This is when you tell the wizard that this computer connects directly to the internet. This is how ICS is installed on the first computer which will be refered to as the Host. Then all you have to do is run the network setup wizard on the second computer and tell the wizard that, that computer connects to the internet through another computer on the network. That computer will then become the client. Under TCP/IP properties. Set the client to auto detect IP address, and set the primary DNS server to 192.168.0.1 and tell it to use port 83 or port 85. Then go into the control panel on the client computer. Switch to classic view. Then click on Internet Options, then the connections tab. Then click the LAN button. Put a tick by use proxy server and then tick bypass proxy server for local addresses, then click the Advanced button and out by HTTP tell it to use 192.168.0.1 as it's proxy server and designate the same port as you did for the DNS server. Then install DrTCP on to the client computer and tweak your settings to match your HOST computer. For your recieve window. I have found that 328280 is a good number. And an MTU of 1500 is also good. Max duplicate acts set at 3 and a packet size of 64. Hope this helps you out.
