Hi Graham,
I see you have found that Windows supports a registry key for TcpWindowSize.
The sad news is that it has no effect, in spite of the fact that Microsoft
has a white paper on its own TCP implementation that claims otherwise.

You might try the NetManage OnNet kernel for Windows 95/98 at
http://www.netmanage.com/products/onnetkernel4/index.asp

I don't know what they charge for it, but I think it's affordable and they
offer a free demo.

Best regards,

Subject: nt to nt tcpsat problems

Hi all,

We're trying to run windows file sharing protocols over a tcp sat link
and getting miserable performance, even after setting TcpWindowSize to
65536. We can get about 100-250k max. We are trying to get at least
one megabit out of it. Is this even possible? We can get 1-2 megabits
ftping from a sun box over satellite...

does anyone know of any clever (cheap) solutions (spoofing nacks?,
translating
to udp?)

Thanks,
Graham Street
