IPNetTuner
is a simple application that allows you to optimize your Window's
Internet performance. It works with Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000
and XP. IPNetTuner supports over 16 adjustable parameters including
the TCP Window Size, Time Out intervals, Selective ACK (SACK) settings,
and MTU. It also provides a convenient test tool so that you can
immediately observe the results after adjusting specific parameters.
The Link Rate tool is specifically designed to ensure that you are
getting the throughput claimed by your ISP.

Why might you need IPNetTuner? Some specific reasons:
- your analog modem performance is not what you believe it should
be.
- your Cable/DSL/ADSL connection does not seem to provide the
performance as claimed by your ISP
- you are having connection problems through a VPN or router which
are related to MTU (maximum transmission unit) size
- you wish to make sure your ethernet NICs are running at their
maximum speed (Link Rate Test)
Unlike many other "Turbo Boosting" Internet applications out there
for Windows, IPNetTuner let's you:
- "try before you buy" with our fully functional 21 day trial
period
- readily control and view the Windows settings which are being
modified
- easily restore the default Windows TCP/IP Parameters in the
Windows Registry
- directly measure both Link Rates (raw IP throughput) and TCP
Rates in a easy to view graph
- configure TCP/IP properties on the fly (Windows 2000 and XP
only)
Actual IPNetTuner Link Rate test. Testing by author found
that he was only getting half the speed out of his cable
modem service as was contracted with his ISP (Contracted
download/upload speed was 1544 KBs/256 KB/s - asymmetric).
After reporting to his ISP, the ISP investigated and found
that indeed his speed settings were incorrectly programmed.
Within an hour they had remedied the problem.

Once the desired parameters are applied, you can quit IPNetTuner.
IPNetTuner simply changes the internal settings within the Windows
Registry. These settings remain in effect until you make additional
changes or reset these settings.
Additionally, you can save your settings in "IPNetTuner" documents.
This makes it easy to distribute settings throughout an organization
(or publish settings for specific setups or Internet services).
