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.
