Hello friends,
I am new to this forum and Proxomitron. The IE 6 Browser, doesn't prefetch the cached pages when I press the "Back" Button or "Forward Button " though I have ticked all the HTTP Headers " Always Cache " filters. ' * ' match any character, doesn't seem to help. Sometimes it works for about 30 minutes and again stops working. Can anyone help me? Thanks Garcot |

Hiya,
Been meaning to respnd to your question at CC's. Sorry about that. I think thats just the way IE is, no Proxo filter can adjust that behavior. One of the IE users here might be able to help ya tho.. ~JD In Proxomitron we trust. |

Thanks JD.
I have learnt to live with this Problem. Though I don't use IE very often ( Use Opera 7 ), I was constantly irritated by this misbehaviour of IE 6. The moment one strips off the Personal ID ( using Proxo ofcourse ) it becomes worse. Thus I have enabled the Personal ID strings for the pages, and IE 6 behaves far better now. There are some pages, which do not have this provision. Ex. http://forums.zonelabs.com/ Other workaround, I found was to have under IE -> Internet options-> Temporary Internet Files -> "Check for New Versions' -> select "Never" and clean the IE cache once in 5 hours, like the way it is done in Opera. I have written a small script to perform this operation automatically. Thanks again Garcot |

Hi "~Garcot~",
I use a program called "Cache-Sentry" that fixes the cache problem in IE and IE clones. Here is a link where You can read up on it & download it if You want to try it. Click Here I make a short cut to it and then drag & drop it in my Startup folder so that it's starts at boot-up. basically what it does is, it deletes all the "stray and 0 byte entries in the browser's cache. And You can set the limit that the cache will build up to before it deletes the entries. Take Care & Please let Me know how it turns out, Safe-surfin', "~JaK~" =:-) |

Hi "~JaK~",
Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried CacheSentry, but it did not help fully. I have tweaked my Services->TCP/IP -> Parameters settings in the registry and the pages are getting loaded faster and better. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters] "ForwardBroadcasts"=dword:00000000 "IPEnableRouter"=dword:00000000 "UseDomainNameDevolution"=dword:00000000 "EnableICMPRedirect"=dword:00000000 "DeadGWDetectDefault"=dword:00000001 "DontAddDefaultGatewayDefault"=dword:00000000 "EnableSecurityFilters"=dword:00000001 "AllowUnqualifiedQuery"=dword:00000000 "PrioritizeRecordData"=dword:00000001 "TCP1320Opts"=dword:00000001 "TcpWindowSize"=dword:0003e900 "TcpMaxDupAcks"=dword:00000001 "EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000001 "EnableFastRouteLookup"=dword:00000000 "FFPControlFlags"=dword:00000001 "FFPFastForwardingCacheSize"=dword:00030d40 "ForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00019df7 "MaxFreeTcbs"=dword:000007d0 "MaxFreeTWTcbs"=dword:000007d0 "MaxHashTableSize"=dword:00000800 "MaxNormLookupMemory"=dword:00030d40 "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:0003e900 "TcpRecvSegmentSize"=dword:000005c0 "LargeBufferSize"=dword:00002000 "CacheTimeout"=dword:0000ea60 "TCP132Opts"=dword:00000001 "MaxForwardBufferMemory"=dword:001f4000 "AllowUserRawAccess"=dword:00000000 "ArpCacheLife"=dword:000002bc "ArpCacheSize"=dword:00000080 "BufferMultiplier"=dword:00000200 "DefaultRegistrationTTL"=dword:00000014 "DefaultTTL"=dword:00000030 "DisableAddressSharing"=dword:00000001 "DisableReplaceAddressesInConflicts"=dword:00000000 "DisableReverseAddressRegistrations"=dword:00000001 "DisjointNameSpace"=dword:00000001 "DynamicBacklogGrowthDelta"=dword:00000032 "EnableDeadGWDetect"=dword:00000000 "EnablePMTUBHDetect"=dword:00000000 "IPReassemblyTimeOut"=dword:0000005a "KeepAliveTime"=dword:00023280 "NoNameReleaseOnDemand"=dword:00000001 "PerformRouterDiscovery"=dword:00000002 "QueryIpMatching"=dword:00000000 "SackOpts"=dword:00000001 "SmallBufferSize"=dword:00000800 "SmallerBufferSize"=dword:00000400 "SynAckProtect"=dword:00000002 "Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003 "TCPDisableReceiveChecksum"=dword:00000000 "TCPDisableSendChecksum"=dword:00000000 "TcpKeepCnt"=dword:00000064 "TcpKeepTries"=dword:0000000a "TcpLogLevel"=dword:00000000 "TcpMaxConnectAttempts"=dword:00000002 "TcpMaxHalfOpen"=dword:00000064 "TcpMaxHalfOpenRetried"=dword:00000050 "TcpMaxRetransmissionAttempts"=dword:00000005 "TcpNumConnections"=dword:00000080 "TcpSendDownMax"=dword:00008000 "TcpSendSegmentSize"=dword:000005c0 "TcpTimedWaitDelay"=dword:0000001e "UDPDisableSendChecksum"=dword:00000000 "UDPDisableReceiveChecksum"=dword:00000000 "UpdateSecurityLevel "=dword:00000000 "TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer"=dword:00000000 "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000014 "FastSendDatagramThreshold"=dword:00001000 "TransmitWorker"=dword:00000020 "InitialSmallBufferCount"=dword:00000140 "InitialMediumBufferCount"=dword:000000f0 "InitialLargeBufferCount"=dword:00000064 "DefaultReceiveWindow"=dword:0000e666 "DefaultSendWindow"=dword:0000e666 "MediumBufferSize"=dword:00001000 "IgnorePushBitOnReceives"=dword:00000000 "PriorityBoost"=dword:00000000 "MaxFastTransmit"=dword:0000fa00 "DefaultTOSValue"=dword:0000005c "IGMPLevel"=dword:00000002 "BSDUrgent"=dword:00000001 "BCastNameQueryCount"=dword:00000001 "BcastQueryTimeout"=dword:00000064 "LocalCopyMade"=dword:00000001 "KeepAliveInterval"=dword:0000015e "MaxConnections"=dword:00000064 "MaxConnectRetries"=dword:00000005 "MaxDataRetries"=dword:00000063 "LanaBase"=dword:00000000 "NameTableSize"=dword:000000ff "NameSrvQueryTimeout"=dword:00000064 "SessionKeepAlive"=dword:00001c20 "SessionTableSize"=dword:000000ff "TcpMaxDataRetransmissions"=dword:00000006 "DisableUserTOSSetting"=dword:00000000 "Size/Small/Medium/Large"=dword:00000003 "MaxDupAcks"=dword:00000003 "RoutingBufSize"=dword:00023c00 "RoutingPackets"=dword:00000064 "MaxNumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a "NumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a This tweak works well with 56K and above speeds. What these settings have done is, it has reduced the DNS Resolving time and loading time of pages. I am quite happy with the surfing speeds now. Yes I will try with CacheSentry after I have tweaked Registry settings. Garcot WinXP Home, Proxo 4.5 with Custom Filters, Cable Modem 512 kbps |

Hi, garcot. That's okay. I was just curious because they looked like something out of Cablenut but a bit different entries.
I'll share with you my very favorite 56k tweak. I got the registry tweak from X-Setup. Then there is a step below to take after you enter it into your registry. Per X-Setup: There are a couple of warnings issued with these tweaks: If using internal modems located in the Communication Networking Riser (CNR) slot, do NOT use these settings! Such cards rely on a very tricky method to work, which is incompatible with these settings.and stuff. If you have a UART-compatible 56k modem, then you can increase this speed up to a maximum of 921600bps (900Kbps). The plug-in won't change the speed automatically, it will simply allow you to set it to a faster level using the Modem control panel applet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REGEDIT4 ; This file was automatically generated by Xteq X-Setup (http://www.xteq.com) ; ; HIGHLY IMPORTANT: Before using this file be sure to read the documentation for ; "Record Mode". Not doing so might lead to unexpected results ; when using this file! ; ; The WARNINGS ISSUED below informs you if any warnings were reported. If so, the ; plug-in(s) has invoked functions that can not be recorded to this file. In this ; case, this REG file might not work as expected. ; ; WARNINGS ISSUED: No - this REG file should work without problems ; [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000] "OldProperties"=hex:80,01,00,00,FF,00,00,00,FF,00,00,00,07,00,00,00,0F,00,00,00,77,07,00,00,00,10,0E,00,00,FA,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000] "Properties"=hex:80,01,00,00,ff,00,00,00,ff,00,00,00,07,00,00,00,0f,00,00,00,77,07,00,00,00,10,0E,00,00,FA,00,00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then open Contol Panel and open Network Connections. Right-click on your ISP's icon and select Properties. Highlight your modem and click on Configure. Set the Maximum speed (bps): to 921600. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is absolutely the ONLY tweak I have every applied where I could actually tell the difference in my browsing speed immediately. Hope it works for you as well. |

Hi !
Thanks for your efforts. I am on 512 Kbps Cable Modem Connection. May be, I will tell a few friends of mine to try this tweak. Garcot |

Quote:Browser, doesn't prefetch the cached pages when I press the "Back" Button or "Forward Button " though I have ticked all the HTTP Headers " Always Cache " filters.What works for me is to set the browser never to look for a new version of the cache contents. If I want to make sure that I have a current page, I force a reload. |
