IPNetTunerX is a modest application that allows you to optimize TCP/IP network performance under Mac OS X by tuning internal TCP/IP parameters to match your network environment. IPNetTunerX supports over 50 adjustable parameters including the TCP Window Size, Time Out intervals, Maximum Segment Size, and MTU.
Beyond adjusting parameters, IPNetTunerX provides tools for measuring the effect of your changes, and a Location Helper to make dynamic configuration easier.

Use our preconfigured settings for most common types of Internet connections. Or you can adjust your settings and save them in IPNetTunerX settings documents and invoke them each time you login.
While not all connections require tuning, it is often possible to improve network performance significantly by using the right parameters for your connection. IPNetTunerX makes it easy to experiment and see for yourself.

I have a cable modem connection that gets me 6 Mbits/second over a wired connection to nearby internet servers, and I was interested in seeing if I could improve download speeds from distant servers. After applying the presets for "Cable Modem", I began getting only 4 Mbits/second from the same nearby servers -- a 33% DECREASE in speed. After asking it to restore the defaults, I started getting less than 3 Mbits/second -- a 50% decrease from vanilla Mac OS X. And it's a little disturbing that when I asked it to turn itself off, instead what I got was further slowing of the connection.
A nice idea, not ready for prime time.

Is there any point in getting this if you're not exactly the smartest person when it come to IPs and proxies and all that jazz?
How easy is it to use?

My Asante FR3004C DSL router stopped working correctly on 8/13/03. I noticed I could not upload or download files to my Linux web server. I use Macs in my office. My ISP/DSL provider is Windows-based. After checking all cables and equipment, I determined the router needed adjusting. Asante tech support forum helpful, but gave me incredibly difficult solution the first time around. Both Verizon and Asante suggested MTU setting change. Apple's instructions on how to do this are more than I want to mess with. Other forums suggest it is a multi-platform issue related to Lovesan worm infecting Wintel machines.
FYI: I also read this solved connection issue through Linksys router too.
We use ADSL here. Pretty lame, but some folks make it work...
