BAH Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Here's something I stumbled across in a usenet group for XP. I haven't tried it but it sounds reasonable. Good Luck. this is for broad band connections. might work for dial up. 1.make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges. to log in as an administrator: click on start->logoff->logoff in the logon screen hold Ctrl+Alt+Del. in the user field type 'Administrator' <-case sensitive. in the password field type the password for the administrator (if you dont have any leave blank. click ok. 2. start - run - type gpedit.msc 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 10. go to your Network connections (start->connect to->show all connections). right click on your connection then under the General or the Networking tab (where it lists your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is enabled. 11. reboot if you want to but not necessary on some systems your all done. Effect is immediate on some systems. some need re-boot. This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage. To demonstrate the problem with this on stand alone machines start up a big download from a server with an FTP client. Try to find a server that doesn't max out your bandwidth. In this case you want a slow to medium speed server to demonstrate this. Let it run for a couple of minutes to get stable. The start up another download from the same server with another instance of your FTP client. You will notice that the available bandwidth is now being fought over and one of the clients download will be very slow or both will slow down when they should both be using the available bandwidth. Using this "tweak" both clients will have a fair share of the bandwidth and will not fight over the bandwidth.Regards,BAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 it does work, ive had that tweek on for ages it helps if you download off of FTP's a lot as all the downloads share the bandwidth out and go at pretty much the same speed. as for dialup.. i expect it [i:9277d5fed8]might[/i:9277d5fed8] work.. cable only uses a modem too drew.. its just a bit meatier heres mine, amb has the same one too,[img:9277d5fed8]http://www.globalmafia.f2s.com/SB4100.jpg[/img:9277d5fed8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
