Increase your internet bandwidth by more than 20% in XP
Works for both broadband and dialups:
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 internet connection then under the General or the Networking tab (where it lists your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is enabled. If not, install it as a Service.
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.
