From: Paul on 24 Jan 2006 05:21 Are there any tweaks that can be carried out in Windows XP that will increase the speed of the Internet connection, broadband or dial up? Thanks
From: R. McCarty on 24 Jan 2006 05:31 The term "Increase" probably doesn't apply, but maybe "Optimize" your connection settings does. There are Registry settings that affect how the PC handles data packets. In most cases, the defaults are sufficient. But, you can modify them with a program called TCP Optimizer that handles the Registry changes automatically, based on your connection type. The program was just recently updated. http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php It would be a good idea to read through the FAQ on the product before attempting any changes to your system.

From: "Rick "Nutcase" Rogers" on 24 Jan 2006 06:00 Hi Paul, Your "speed limit" is not determined by WinXP, it's determined by your host and line conditions. No tweaking will change this. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Paul" <stryda1(a)telefonica.net> wrote in message news:OTps5$MIGHA.1312(a)TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Are there any tweaks that can be carried out in Windows XP that will > increase the speed of the Internet connection, broadband or dial up? > > Thanks > > >
From: Dapper Dan on 24 Jan 2006 08:12 Paul Have you checked your speed. If not, go to; http://www.dslreports.com/tools Do the Speed Test and then also the Tweak test. If your are using Broadband, it's likely that you will need to tweak the RWIN setting.
