CableNut is a tool for optimizing your Internet Connection. We have provided a way to tweak any option you may want to in the adjuster. You can load "CableNut Custom Setting" files that are included with the program to tweak your Internet connection. You can make your own "CableNut Custom Setting" files save them for later use, or distribute them to anyone with the CableNut program. Dialup, Cable, DSL, and Satellite connections are supported out of the box. If you don't have one of the supported connection types don't worry you can visit the site, and ask the CableNut team for help. Best of all it is freeware. We don't haggle you with annoying advertisments, banners, time limits, or restrictions. Just remember that we developed this application to make your Internet go faster, that is what we wanted. This software will support any connection type, and it does work with Windows XP! |

FAQ
4.08 is the newest version available. You might see older versions such as 4.02, 3.65, and 3.0.
Q. Supported Operating Systems?
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/and XP are supported with the default Installation.
Software that is available for free, usually over the Internet.
The Nullsoft Super-Pimp Installation system (NSIS) is used to deploy CableNut to the end user. This is also a freeware application available at nullsoft.com.
Q. Why are all my values in the Adjuster boxes blank?
During the Installation the Installer will wipe all previous TCP/IP registry values to ensure that the Adjuster works 100% with your configuration.
Q. Where can I find download mirrors?
The CableNut program is hosted on many other sites--the official mirrors are download.com, voodoofiles.com, and majorgeeks.com.
Q. My adjuster.exe reports version 4.2.016
This is correct, the Adjuster.exe file is currently version 4.2.016, while CableNut is currently version 4.08.
Q. I receive a repeating "please wait" message when attempting an Install
This is a rare bug with some old Installers. Please make sure to close any running background applications specifically Zone Alarm, or Norton Anti-Virus.
The Adjuster is an application developed by a fellow team member, and friend who goes by "JonG". It is a simple Graphical User Interface to your Operating Systems registry database, which specifically deals with the TCP/IP registry keys.
Q. What do all these values mean?
The TCP/IP Implementation details for Windows 2000, which also applies to XP and to 98 can be found here. Please use this as a reference.
Q. I need more information on CableNut, is there a tweak guide?
Mnosteele the administrator of the support forums, and a big help to the team has written a very detailed post on CableNut, and general Internet tweaking. It's a great read I suggest anyone who wants to understand more to check it out.
Q. Will other "tweaks" work with the Adjuster?
We do not support other tweaks, or recommend you install more than one tweaking application at any time.
The Adjuster gives you total control over all of your TCP/IP registry entries found in the Windows Operating System. You can save, load, and apply values.
Q. I cannot see the entire Adjuster screen, my desktop resolution is set lower than 800x600
This is a known bug that slipped on us during development (hey were human too). You can easily apply a CCS file w/o using the Adjuster which is a work-around.
Q. What do the menu options in the Adjuster do?
Under the file menu you can save, or open an CCS file. The options menu allows you to change your OS to your fitting, and allows you to show the paths to the registry keys. The registry menu will allow you to backup, and restore your registry for saftey purposes. The help menu will take you to the help section outlined by JonG.
Q. How do I tweak my Internet connection using CableNut?
We tried to make it as easy as possible to use the program, but some people may have trouble. Basically to tweak your connection all you need to do is load the correct CCS file. The CCS files can be found in the CableNut install folder labeled CCS. You can load the CCS files by either right clicking and going to "Apply CCS file", or opening the CCS file using the Adjuster, and then clicking the save to registry button. Please make sure to reboot your computer, everytime you change or load different settings.
Q. What CCS files do I need to use?
There is a simple naming scheme used with the CCS files. An example CCS file is "satellite_9x.ccs" Satellite tells you this file is meant for satellite connections, and 9x tells you that it is meant for Windows 95/98/ME. The 2K tag is used for the Windows 2000/and XP Operating Systems. Fast, and normal CCS files define how fast your connection is before-hand. We suggest you try both to see which one is more to your liking.
Q. Will Windows XP work with the Adjuster?
Yes Windows XP will work with the Adjuster, all of the CCS files tagged with the "2k" tag are to be used with Windows XP.
Q. Can you help me tweak my connection?
The forums are a dedication to our users. Please, if you have any issues try out our forums for support.
Q. Why does the CableNut CCS files only fill in a few values?
CableNut was meant to work with many varying configurations, and connections. Not all values are need to acheive fast results, but we like to leave all the options open not dis-regard them.
Q. How can I apply a CCS file w/o using the Adjuster?
Simply right click on your CCS file, and go to "Apply CCS File". This will apply all the settings found in that file to your OS.
Q. Can I make my own CCS files?
Sure when we originally developed the CCS files we wanted the user to be able to distribute, or even keep their own personal CCS file.
