Hi, Possibly, yes....could you read through this post, it contains a link from Frank Lavalee that looks very interesting....then, from his site, he gives a link to Speedguide page where you can tweak your system to improve performance with cable/DSL.....some good reviews of hardware there, too. http://forums.techguy.org/t116538/s.html

edit- I see it's already posted....start tweaking!

Hmm. I'm looking over the patches now, and I can not find which one to use. These are the ones, which are for Reg., that match my OS:

sguide_tweak_2k.zip

sguide_tweak_2k_pppoe.zip

sguide_default_2k.zip

Which one to use?

Also, how do I backup my registry? Because if I want to download there patches, I have to do so.

What they are...

sguide_tweak_2k = generic optimization for win2K registry

sguide_tweak_2k_pppoe = If your connection calls for an actual login using PPPOE. some use it some don't

sguide_default_2k = resets the registery back to the Windows Defaults.

Hope that clears it up a bit!

So, if you have to "Log IN" to your DSL connection with a username & password, use the PPPOE, If not, then use the first one!


Good Luck!

Thanks for the info, ST!

Also, can you help me figure out how to backup my Registry. I don't know how to do it.

Thanks!

With these tweaks, I have used them countless times with no problems at all.

HOW TO: Backup, Edit, and Restore the Registry in Windows 2000

Hope that helps!

I don't have Windows 2k, I have XP Home. Sorry.

Then if you want to make sure things will be fine...


Click on Start--Programs--Accessories--System Tools--"Systemm Restore"
Choose "create a restore point" and it will make a snapshot of your system that you can revert to!
