You must have an active internet connection in order to use the Analyze Internet Connection dialog box. Also, SurfStream requires that your computer can send ICMP packets (or ping) to web servers. SurfStream uses ICMP packet transmission to determine your optimal TCP Receive Window setting. Some firewalls and proxy servers can be configured to stop ICMP packets being sent. If this is done, SurfStream will not be able to determine your optimal settings. You need to enable ICMP packets for SurfStream’s Analyze Internet Connection dialog box to work correctly.
