For the last month or so I’ve been intermittently, but with increasing frequency, unable to load pages or get my e-mail working. The thing is that the connection does not actually drop, but my browsers and my e-mail cannot connect to the servers, or they do but after a very long time.
After doing all the troubleshooting I could think of (shutting down and restarting both modem and router countless times, deleting all the caches on my system, deleting the Configuration folder, changing the DNS numbers several times, repairing permissions, running Disk Warrior), I finally, I talked to a Fios technician. He told me that my Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) should be 1045440, but it is 359104.
According to him, the problem is on the mac side. I called AppleCare and they recommended that I reinstall my system (10.9.5). Which I did.
The problem still happens randomly, and when I go the page http://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php, to check the RWIN number I see that is still 350104.
At this point, I no longer know what to do. Does anyone out there know how to change this RWIN number?
