DSL tweak "xp"
Something I picked up from a dsl guru on a broadband forum:Start, control panel, networking and select lan connection by right clicking it. Select properties, configure and advanced tab. In the scroll menu click on "link speed and duplex" From the small drop down mune to the right change the setting to 1oombps/full duplex. It deffinitly increased the speed on my page loads, maybe yours as well..

I take it that tweak would be for people with Ethernet Modems? and not USB ADSL Modem users? My modem does not use my NIC at all, so I'm guessing the tweak wouldn't help much.
As it happens, I already have my setting on 100mbps anyway.
But I'm sure the ADSL Ethernet Modem users will find the tweak helpful.
Thanks.

Sorry if I was a little confusing. There are two types of DSL modems, ones that use a USB Port, and ones that use Ethernet. I think your tweak only applies to the Ethernet DSL users, as if you have a USB DSL Modem, it does not use the NIC.

Ohh I just realised. I added the word USB in the first sentence by accident. Sorry. I'll edit it now.:S

Hi motherboard:

Do you have any DSL tweaks for Windows ME? And which broadband forum do you view? Thanks...

Hi AtreideS,
With the DSL USB modem, the NIC is in the modem and would be listed just as a rugular nic is in network panel.
I find that any O/S newer the Win 98 usually works fine and tweaks don't help all that much unless you have had a different connection type or changed some settings. There are some great tweaks at "speedguide.net"
