Well, a lot of ppl doesn't know this but the only Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP network setting that has any real effect on DSL or Cable Modem speed is the TCP Receive Window size. To configure and add this TCP Receive Window size, you'll have to mess around with your registry. Everything else commonly recommended are urban myths that won't help. Let me show you ppl how to do it in 2000/XP first then on everything else is basically the same but different values and names.
First, hold the windows key + r and type "regedit" without the "s on the blank box. Now, go here >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters. Following me ppl? Now on the right side of the window, right click and choose new>DWORD Value. Name the new value to "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize" without the "s again. Now double click on the new value and make sure under "Base" Hexidecimal is selected. On the Value Data put "7fff" for Normal Latency (e.g. normal DSL or 2-Way Cable) or put "ffff" for High Latency (e.g. poor DSL or 1-way cable) all without "s. Click OK and close registry. Finally, reboot. That's it for Windows XP.
For Normal Latency Windows 95/98/Me go here and create this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP]
"DefaultRcvWindow"="32767"
For High Latency, Windows 95/98/ME go here and create this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP]
"DefaultRcvWindow"="65535"
Warning: Registry editing experience is required and remeber not touch anything else on the registry
Anyways, this tweak will work for some ppl who has really slow broadbands. Depending on your ISP, your speed might be limited. If there's a problem, go back to the root in the registry and del the value and that's all. No big deal.
EDITED: Remeber to reboot after.
