WINDOWS XP


QoS Packet Scheduler is a method of network bandwidth management that can monitor the importance of data packets and depending upon the priority of the packet, give it higher or lower priority or bandwidth levels. It's not very useful unless you're using apps which are QoS-aware or running a server, so you can gain some network overhead back by turning it off.

Note: This following tip will not work on XP Home Edition.

1.

Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
2.

Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).
3.

Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.
4.

Expand the Administrative Templates branch.
5.

Expand the Network branch.
6.

Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.
7.

In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.
8.

On setting tab check the ENABLED item.
9.

Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).
10.



Close gpedit.msc.

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot.

WINDOWS VISTA

You can speed up an Internet connection in a number of ways: upgrade your Internet access service and networking equipment, optimize your system (which speeds up everything, including Internet access), and by performing the tweak covered in this demonstration.

In this demonstration, you'll learn how to edit the Windows Vista registry to increase the number of files your browser can download from a Web server at one time. The default is two. By increasing that number, you can get noticeably better response time when browsing Web pages with a lot of images.

Let's start in the Registry Editor, which you access by entering regedit in the Start Search text box.

Expand the registry tree in the left pane to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings.

Right-click a blank space in the right pane, and then select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value from the shortcut menu.

Type MaxConnectionsPerServer as the new DWORD key name.

Right-click the MaxConnectionsPerServer entry, and then select Modify from the shortcut menu.

In the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value dialog box, select the Decimal option. Then enter a number higher than 2 in the Value data text box. We're entering 10; however, you can enter a higher number, such as 15, if you wish. Click OK to save your changes.

Now, create another registry entry following the same steps and using the same settings, but name this entry MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server. Let's watch how this is accomplished.

When you're finished, just close the Registry Editor to save your changes.

This demonstration showed you how to edit the Windows Vista registry to speed up your Internet connection. After applying this tweak, you should notice that graphics-rich Web pages load faster and your computer's online browsing response time is improved.
