Arne Hess zei: OPTION: Possibly speed up your wireless Windows XP connection, Posted by Arne Hess - at Thursday, 01.06.06 - 16:54:51 CET under 1 - General News - Viewed 922x Well, that's an interesting finding I haven't heard about before. But the folks at RealTechNews wrote, that Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for its own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc). Well, this shouldn't be a problem at all as long as you are connected to a broadband connection like DSL, etc. but 20 % is a lot if you are connected wireless via UMTS or HSDPA. Anyway, it wouldn't be Windows XP if there wouldn't be a hack at all, as Lockergnome explains: Click Start / Run Type: gpedit.msc, This opens the group policy editor. Then go to: Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Network / QOS Packet Scheduler / Limit Reservable Bandwidth Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab: "By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default." So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20% Well done, I hope I will get more out of my UMTS connection now (with which I'm writing this article because I'm abroad).
