how do i find out my ip address for my dsl. Im getting super slow speeds and and when i use ip checker and ip config i get 2 different addresses.
Right now im getting 200 down and 460 up. Is there a way to make this faster.

Kind of hard to answer when one does not know your settings.

OS?

Direct to DSL Modem or Via Router?

USB or Ethernet?

As for slow speed try this:

Download DrTCP: <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.dslre
ports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe">http://www.dslreports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe</a>

Run the program, it will show the current settings of TCP/IP parameters. Write them down.

You can change any variable that you want, click Apply, and reboot the computer, if no good; you can always change to your original values.

Start with:

MaxMTU - 1492 for DSL

Tcp Receive - 255552

Window Scaling - Yes

Time Stamping - No

Selective Acks - Yes

Path MTU Discovery - Yes.

Black Hole - NO

Max Duplicate - 2

TTL - 64

Most ADSL is around 225 Max upload so I suspect your numbers are backwards. If you dropped to around 400K down sometimes getting the DSL Modem to re-sync will reset the DSLAM port you are on. Don't shut the power down on your Modem, just pull the phone/ADSL cable for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in, that will get the DSLAM port to recycle and your speed should get back closer to 1472K down.
