How to increase your internet speed on Windows XP

Ryanwb · April 20th, 2003, 10:42 PM

I just finished reading an XP book

Start - run - type gpedit.msc
Expand the "local computer policy" branch
Expand the "administrative templates" branch
Expand the "network branch"
Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
On setting tab check the "enabled" item
Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0

p.s.

This only works on XP professional. Also, this change does not harm your system in anyway. This works for some people, others it does not.

Nevermind, found it...do you need a reboot for it to take effect?
