Try calling your own handphone with and without the microfilter. If there's no problem, then it's not the microfilter's fault. If you face problems while calling with the microfilter, it could be due to the microfilter.Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:Hi guys, after upgrading my internet service from 512 kbps to 3500 kbps, my internet kept disconnecting by itself every few minutes. Do anyone know what's the problem is? Is it the microfilter i used are not suitable for high speed? Can someone advise me? Thanks in advance
Do a scan for viruses and spyware. Some viruses will automatically disconnect you from internet to prevent your antivirus from updating itself. Some spyware can do the same thing, though it is hardly known of. Remember to update your antivirus before scanning. If you have problems updating, start your computer in safe mode and connect to the internet and do the updating. -
Hi guys, I dun think it's antivirus updating problem as i dun use antivirus software... Lancer, u are right. Singnet people will push blame back to us.
I was wondering, is the ethernet cable the same for 512kbps n 3500kbps? Or should I get a new cable? -
doesnt matter for ethernet cable...Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:Hi guys, I dun think it's antivirus updating problem as i dun use antivirus software... Lancer, u are right. Singnet people will push blame back to us.

My current ethernet LANS use an MTU (maximum transmission unit) of 1500 bytes. How can I change it to 3500 bytes.

I never say it is antivirus updating problem. I only say if you have problems updating, restart in Safe Mode then update.Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:Hi guys, I dun think it's antivirus updating problem as i dun use antivirus software...

Anyway, you are asking for trouble by not using antivirus software, unless you are using Mac. Even then, Mac isn't immuned to viruses. As I have said, there are some viruses which are capable of disconnecting one from the Internet, with or without the antivirus installed.
The ethernet cable is hardly the source for frequent disconnections, unless it isn't plug in properly. -
you can use back the same ethernet cable.. no need to change...Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:Hi guys, I dun think it's antivirus updating problem as i dun use antivirus software... Lancer, u are right. Singnet people will push blame back to us.

Assume that you are using Win XP:Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:My current ethernet LANS use an MTU (maximum transmission unit) of 1500 bytes. How can I change it to 3500 bytes.
1) Open Registry Editor (Start, Run, regedit)
2) Locate and then click the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NdisWan\Parameters

b. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
c. Type 0 (zero), and then press ENTER.
5) Click the 0 subkey that you created in step 4.
6) On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
7) In the Value data box, type ProtocolType, and then click OK.
8 ) On the Edit menu, click Modify.
9) In the Value data box, type 800, make sure Hexadecimal is selected under Base, and then click OK.
10) On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

i suppose u connected it properly ?Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:yes, I got use microfilter... -
this has nothing to do ur with speed..pls dun change it...Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:My current ethernet LANS use an MTU (maximum transmission unit) of 1500 bytes. How can I change it to 3500 bytes. -
why not ask yr isp for help?Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:Hi guys, after upgrading my internet service from 512 kbps to 3500 kbps, my internet kept disconnecting by itself every few minutes.

One can gain substantial network performance increases, which will improve the speed, though not a lot. I won't even recommend changing. The fixed value used by Microsoft is good enough.Originally posted by kaobeikaobu:this has nothing to do ur with speed..pls dun change it... -
So I will not change it. but if my current speed is 3500kbps but the MTU is 1500bytes. Is it ok? ISP can't solve the problem, they dun know the problem too...

disconnection problem doesn't need this tweak...almost everyone uses the standard size, 1500bytes, for their MTU. u get no performance boost if the destination host uses 1500bytes MTUOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:One can gain substantial network performance increases, which will improve the speed, though not a lot.

By default, it's 1500, and it's very good already. There's no need to change because we are all home users.Originally posted by Yanzi_fan:So I will not change it. but if my current speed is 3500kbps but the MTU is 1500bytes. Is it ok? ISP can't solve the problem, they dun know the problem too...
Check that your wires are properly connected, and if it still disconnects frequently, buy a new cable and test it. If no problem with the new cable, then it's probably something wrong with the old cable. It could also be the modem's fault. If changing the hardware still give you problems, you better scan your computer. There are free online scans available, if you don't want to get an antivirus. -
But there is nothing wrong with the modem or cable when I was using 512kbps... The problem came instantly after the upgrading... And now it will get dc every half an hours. Any other configuration must I do? Thanks
-
When you upgraded, did they give you a free modem? If yes, did you do a proper uninstall of the previous modem?
-
no free modem given. I am using the previous modem... the speed of the local area connection is 100mbps, that's correct right?
-
Uninstalled anything recently?
