My PC is behind a router on the network. Will TweakMASTER help me?

TweakMASTER Knowledge Base article KB0037

If you are connected to your DSL or other broadband connection thru a router, in order to connect multiple machines to the same DSL line, then optimizing an individual computer in many cases will have no effect whatever. Of course, it depends greatly on type of router, whether it also acts as a proxy, etc. I cannot give specific advice here. In some cases, re-applying the optimization to "all network interfaces" may help.

In any case, even if you are one of those who do not seem to benefit from the optimized settings TweakMASTER can make for you, you can instantly restore your original settings by simply using the "Original Settings" button on the Internet Optimization screen.

Note that no matter what kind of speed boost you get, that you can still enjoy the benefits of DNS Acceleration, something that DOES work for everyone. You should also appreciate the automatic PC Clock Synchronization feature, as well as AOL Disconnect Prevention if you are an AOL user. Generic ISP Disconnect Prevention is also included with the Pro version of TweakMASTER. Restoring your original settings as described above will only affect the MTU optimization settings and not these other features, which many people have reported are well worth the program cost by themselves.

And then of course, with the PRO version, you also get DU Meter, our award-winning network monitor which sells for $20 by itself.
