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),navigateHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\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,
