[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 710752, member: 51052"] rfc 1323 deals with TCP window scaling, it allows the receive window to be set above it's maximum value. Basically it has to do with the amount of bandwidth available today vs when TCP was defined. The problem is that scaling does not work on some equipment. We didn't have problems with it before because while implemented in previous OS's (I know XP and 2000 for certain and I believe earlier OS X variants) it was an option. With later linux, OS X, bsd versions and Vista it's now a default. It can cause significant connection problems if left enabled with incompatible hardware, which is probably why they had you disable it (set it to 0). Now, regarding your account not being an administrator that may be the case. Open terminal and type id then post the results please. [/QUOTE]
