Title: Tip for increasing bandwidth speed. Win XP Pro/2000
Post by: TKSniper on August 20, 2007, 02:51:01 AM
Heres a lil tip for squeezing more bandwith from your internet connection. It  works for Windows 2000 and XP Pro. Vista, Idk. I'm not touching it.   http:///Forum/Smileys/default/
Click on Start then on run. Type in gpedit.msc    This opens the group policy oject  editor for the computer. Follow the path as illustrated below.
Administrative templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler. double click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth then enable it and set it to 0. By default, in it's  not configured state, it is holding back 20% of the speed of your connection. Part of the description is in the pic.  8)

That is GREAT info TK. Do you know if it works for XP Home.  I tried to run the script and it said it was invalid.  I guess I got my answer. If you know a way to do this for the Win XP Home edition, PLEASE let me know.  Or Does the home edition not limit your bandwith?  a 20 % boost in speed would make my whole month.  ;D ;D ;D

However the QoS folder is not in Network folder

Edit: Group Policy editor is not available in XP Home see link:

But it can be with the right files, a bit techie and may  not work
