TheReverend(c) February 19, 2006 Share TheReverend(c) Member February 19, 2006 Ive had a few people ask me if there are anyways to increase broadband throughput. I use this gpedit setting. All you other mcse geeks will allready know this old one but some may not. I did this on a friends comp today and he said it made a world of difference. This is for WinXP Pro. Go to Start-Run type "gpedit.msc Click or expand "Local Computer Policy" Click or expand "Administrative Templates" Click or expand "Network Branch" In the left window highlight "QoS Packet Scheduler" In the right window click on "Limit Reservable bandwidth" setting. There should be a setting tab and you will need to check the "enabled" box. I beleive most Winxp settings are around 20 and 30%, but change whatevr number it is to zero (0) click on apply then ok and close the window and reboot. These settings will be active upon reboot. Some show a decent increase and some dont. Hope this helps some with bandwidth probs in CSS. Let me know how it worked for you guys. And post up some other good tweaks.

Batman February 19, 2006 Share Batman Member February 19, 2006 This would help the people who share internet with others in the house/apt.. You set yours to 0 then turn everyone elses down to 20%.. Let them wonder why there internet is slower.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz.e.rus February 19, 2006 Share Laz.e.rus Member February 19, 2006 Hmm. Absolutely no diff on a speed test. Should QoS then be enabled in the network connections/properties too then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some get faster speed some dont. Hmm. Absolutely no diff on a speed test. Should QoS then be enabled in the network connections/properties too then? If you dont see any real difference then most likely youve got a decent connection and your windows is pretty well tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo February 19, 2006 Share Cujo Member February 19, 2006 (edited) i've never had any problems with my connection with default win xp pro settings. i max my bandwidth quite easily. i can't imagine this effecting anything. if you do it and get an increase plz post some proof in the form of before and after screenshots. btw, i'm not gonna bother trying this as i already know i'm maxxing out my net.

Preacher February 19, 2006 Share Preacher Member February 19, 2006 mine wasn't enabled so I enabled it then set it to zero. My connection is really fast anyway so it'll be hard to test the booger in real life settings not just a bandwidth check lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoner February 20, 2006 Share Demoner Member February 20, 2006 i did this and will post the results once i see what happens when other people are on my connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo February 20, 2006 Share Cujo Member February 20, 2006 i don't see how this would have any effect on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My connection is really fast anyway so it'll be hard to test the booger in real life settings not just a bandwidth check lol. I'm with him. I disable QoS packet scheduling for internet connections, as well as disabling netbios and WINS. QoS is just for reserving a percentage of bandwidth for certain apps (like network printers or file transfers) in preference to other network traffic on your machine. It's pretty much useless for the Internet, unless your computer is acting as an internet server to a local network.

Demoner February 24, 2006 Share Demoner Member February 24, 2006 no change in my connection after doing this, mainly i think its because i never had a cap on my connection anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReverend(c) February 26, 2006 Author Share TheReverend(c) Member February 26, 2006 Tried this again with a few laptops in LAN and seem to see a better increase. Overall net increase was minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
