Thread: Network Adapter

I have a BSNL Broadband 256Kbps 750+,scheme.My modem is UT300RTU and advanced settings for the adapter:
1)Link down power saving Disabled
2)Link Speed/Duplex mode Auto
3)optimal performance Disable
4)Recieve buffer size 64k
Can i change the above settings for more performance.

mention the make of the adapter Realtek etc.
What is the present option selected ?

EXTRACT
It is always safe to force one end of an ethernet link to be semi-duplex even when you are not sure what duplex setting is in effect at the other end of the link.

It is never safe to force one end of an ethernet link to be full-duplex (or allow it to autonegotiate itself to full-duplex), unless you are sure the other end of the link is also full-duplex.

================================================== ==

Realtec RTL 8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
1)Link down power saving Disabled
2)Link Speed/Duplex mode Auto
3)optimal performance Disable
4)Recieve buffer size 64k
5)Network Adress Not Present

Right click on "My Computer"
select "Properties" from the list
select the tab named "Hardware"
click on "Device Manager"
expand the tree item named "Network Adapters"
right click on the Realtek RTL8139 and select "Properties" from the list
go to the "Advanced" tab
Select "Link Speed & Duplex Mode"
On the drop-down menu to the right, select "10M Full mode" ( or 100M if seen)
Click "Ok"
close out of Device Manager and My Computer properties.

This is usual default settings.

Typically, all network adaptors will have speeds in excess of 5.4/56 mbps (10/100 mbps) even in half duplex mode. Since this is far in excess of your Broadband speed (256 kbps) no amount of tweaking on your adaptor is going to materially afeect your broadband speed

Thanks essbee for your advice.But what about the rest of the settings.Thanks in advance.

I suggest that you leave the adaptor settings as they are now. If you are not able to pick up an IP address as it seems from what you have posted, set a static IP for the adaptor in the TCP/IP settings.

Let me know exactly what is the problem that you are facing because I am a little confused as to what the problem really is...
