Internet Speed Up
First First you open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and (after backup) Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Tcpip \ ServiceProvider
2. Please note the following lines (all hex dwords):
Class = 008 (biggrin.gif - indicates that TCP / IP is a name, a supplier, does not change
LocalPriority = 1F3 (499) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 1F4 (500) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 7d0 (2000) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 7d1 (2001) - NetBT name resolution, including WINS
3. What we want to do is increase the priority of the last 4 settings, maintaining its order. The valid range is -32768 to 32767 and lower numbers mean higher priority compared to other services. What we want is less than the number without going to extremes, something like that shown below should work well:
4. Change the "Priority" lines:
LocalPriority = 005 (5) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 006 (6) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 007 (7) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 008 (biggrin.gif - NetBT name resolution, including victories
5. Restart the changes come into force
2. Windows 9x/Me
The first tweak is essentialy the same as in Windows 2000/XP, just the location in the registry is a little different. For a more detailed description, see above Windows 2000/XP
2. Open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and (back) to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ VxD \ MSTCP \ ServiceProvider
3rd You should see the following options:
Class = hex: 08,00,00,00
LocalPriority = hex: F3, 01,00,00
HostsPriority = hex: F4, 01,00,00
DnsPriority = hex: d0, 07,00,00
NetbtPriority = hex: d1, 07,00,00
The fourth "priority" lines should be changed to:
LocalPriority = hex: 05,00,00,00
HostsPriority = hex: 06,00,00,00
DnsPriority = hex: 07,00,00,00
NetbtPriority = hex: 08,00,00,00
5th Restart for the changes to take effect
3. System.ini IRQ Tweak - Windows 9x/Me ONLY
1. Find your network card, IRQ
To add the first entry in the System.ini file, you must first find the IRQ for your NIC
2. Click on the My Computer icon on the desktop, left click on Properties (a shortcut to press the "Windows" key + "Pause"). Go to Device Manager and the computer, double-click. In "Resource View" is a list of IRQs, each with a device description that uses it. Note the IRQ number used by the network adapter
Adding a second entry to System.ini
1. Once you find the IRQ your network card, you will need to spend some 'of RAM for use with the addition of a known SYSTEM.INI file. You can edit the file in any text editor, but the easiest way is to use the editor built into Windows System 'configuration "
2. Go to Start> Run and type sysedit. Locate the [386Enh] of SYSTEM.INI and add irq [n] = 4096 under it, where [n] is the IRQ number of the card and the 4096 is the amount of RAM you want to reserve in Kbytes. We recommend using 4096, however you can experiment with different values if desired. Save changes to the file, exit and reboot for the changes to take effect.
Note: If you decide to try different values, consider the book too much RAM for your network card to reduce the amount of RAM available to applications, while reserving too little can not give the desired effect
Other third reflections
1. The only negative effect of the System.ini IRQ change is going to reduce the amount of available RAM for running applications a bit, reserving some specifically for the use of your network card. The overall performance gain is greater than the negative so far, taking into account any computer with 32 MB of RAM or more
2. This trick may or may not work for you. This is a documented change Windows
Third Remember, if you add hardware to your system the IRQ of the NIC can change, in which case you should change the setting in System.ini
4th In systems with multiple network adapters, you can add the setting for both IRQs. Also, you can reserve RAM for other IRQs if you wish, just use common sense and remember that it reduces the amount of RAM available for running applications
5. If you use a USB device, has no particular IRQ, but you can try to add the entry using the USB IRQ
6th For internal modems, you must add the entry using the IRQ of your modem, rather than the IRQ of NIC.
