Fix For Slow Xdsl Internet Access
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: lowik
This tweak is also valid for all Windows versions.
Sometimes during browsiing you can notice that it takes time to access any web page,
and then, suddenly, your connection establishes full-speed again.
The reason lays in amount of time it needs for tcp/ip protocol to translate
a host name to an IP address. In order to fix this problem your xDSL modem shoud have
an internal IP address specified in TCP/IP properties. For Win98 it would be TCP/IP bounded
to NIC.
In most of the cases IP address would be 192.168.1.2; subnet mask : 255.255.255.0.
Hope it helps. :D

Or you could just fix the Time To Live in the registry.

Thanks but where in the registry can you find this - and what values should you actually change away from?
