Increase the speed of your internet connetion of your modem

As more and more
people get quick connections to
the internet, such as cable or
ADSL, it becomes apparent to the
user of a simple dial-up modem
that the World Wide Web can
quickly turn into the World Wide
Wait. Here a trick that can help
speed up your current modem
without shelling out the big
bucks.
There is a setting located in your
windows registry called the
Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU).
This determines the size of the
packets of data sent between
your and your server. In
Windows 95, this setting is has a
value of 1,500 bytes when the
actual size of internet packets is
1,000 bytes. This can sometimes
slow things down. To remedy the
situation, simply follow these
steps--
In the registry editor (Start > Run
> regedit.exe), navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystem
CurrentControlSetServicesClass
NetTrans.
In the NetTrans folder you should
find another folder named
"000x" in which x represents a
fourth digit. Right-click on the
"000x" folder and select New and
StringValue. Rename the item
that appears in the panel on the
right side to MaxMTU, then
double-click it to bring up the
Edit String box and give it a velue
of 1002.
Remember to keep playing with
the MaxMTU value until you feel
that your internet connection has
greatly sped up. Some people
report huge speed gains using
this tricks, while others hardly
notice a difference. In any case,
it's definetly worth a try.
