X3M Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 this ones simple: this is for broad band connections. I didn?t try it on dial up but 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. for example. now neowin.net loads in less than 1 sec instead of 7 secs before changing the bandwidth limit.

kushkush Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I don't understand this. I have already disabled QoS and you are telling to activate it and set its slice to 0 %. How would this help ? Any one tried this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos34 Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 yes kushkush, you have to enable it again and set it to 0... i also had it disabled, so i re-enabled it and followed the steps, and it wokred very nicely.:) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
