Tweak Test II

I am trying to run the tweak test since I am now on cable. Previously I was on DSL and could run the test anytime with no changes to or the OS, AV, or Firewall.

Now on cable - I can click on Start --> it reports downloading file --> then nothing. The results button never gets active and the test window never reports it is done. I have turned off the firewall, I have opened the firewall up (disabled), and Disabled realtime protection on the AV with no changes to the results.

In short - on DSL could run Tweak anytime with zero issues, get cable (it is the only difference) and can't. No idea what I can check in the cable modem (it is mine - Motorola SB6141) to see if it is the issue.

Thanks Justin - that did it. Changed it to 1492 and it completed.

its kind of interesting that a TCP download (which is what it is) wouldn't complete in total. I wonder if it is a peculiar issue with just the tweak tester or you'd actually notice issues elsewhere.
