Title: Usb To Windows Connection Quality
Post by: danr on March 09, 2007, 09:31:56 am

I used to run pdaXrom rc12 on my C860, and the USB link to Windows was a bit flaky, and would drop out from time to time when doing large downloads.  Now that I've installed r121, the quality has got worse, and drops out more frequently than before.  Has anyone else seen this sort of behaviour?  Are there any settings I can change to limit the maximum bandwidth?  I've tried changing settings such as

Code: [Select]

ifconfig usb0 txqueuelen and

Code: [Select]

ifconfig usb0 mtu
but neither of these seemed to help.

Well I found a way to improve USB connection quality  with a Windows PC.  There's a utility called DrTCP (http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp) which allows you to set the MTU on Windows.  I set mine to 400 and a 200 MB file transferred without problems, with an average transfer rate of 262 kB/S.
