 Optimise your internet connection
Sunday, 26 June 2005
Windows XP and 2000 are by default configured for Ethernet network usage rather than high-speed internet connections, which have a much larger latency when transmitting packets of data.
If you’re a Windows XP or 2000 user there is a registry tweak you can apply to improve the throughput.
To optimise your Windows 2000/XP Registry for Cable Modems, DSL, or any similar type of broadband internet connection, apply this registry hack:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:00020148
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:00020148
"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003
Copy and paste the code into your favourite text editor, save the file with a “reg” extension and then just double-click on the file in Windows Explorer.
