Some of us may find that after installing Windows XP, the Internet connection gets slower.
Posted by: Ecniv
Hmm. I had not heard of this. I will have to try it out.
Posted by: microsoftne
sometimes the programmers here at M$ pass me these obscure tips, i will continue to pass them along....
Posted by: daveppeters
I tried, but when I put "gpedit.msc" in the run box, it says, "Windows cannot find gpedit.msc. Make sure you typed it right, blah, blah, blah" Is this good or bad?
Posted by: microsoftne
hmmmmm,,,make sure you are logged in as admin......let me know if it works for you
Posted by: daveppeters
I only have one account and it is an Admin account - any other suggestions?
Posted by: Shakie
Be sure that you are typing it in correctly. (Case doesn't matter, spelling does.)
gpedit.msc
If it still gives you an error, goto C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 and look for GPEDIT. You can click on that file and it should bring up the box that mirosoftne is describing.
If you still cannot find it, then you need to A) Be sure you are logged on as Administrator; or B) Reinstall your OS if you are logged on as Administrator and cannot find it.
Correct me if I'm wrong guys. Hope this helps.

There is no gpedit.msc anywhere.

i found it, just like what micro said. perhaps it depends on the os that youre running. im running xp pro.

Download speed over my 56k increased from 2.5 KB/sec. to 4.0 KB/sec. average sustained. :D
Posted by: devlish96
wait,...can i change it while still connected? i'm currently downloading stuff...
Posted by: Overclocker16
Man, I want to do this.
I searched for it and found
GPEDIT and under the Type it is a DL_File
GPEDIT.MS_ and under the Type it is a MS_File
GPEDITS.CH_ and under the Type it is a CH_File
GPEDITS.HL_ and under the Type it is a HL_File
I don't have a disc because it is a Sony Vaio so it just has like 8 backup discs which have XP Home on it.
Can I get this file somehow? Or is one of them right? If so what or how do I open it?
Posted by: devlish96
please correct me if im wrong,..but when i was configuring it...it indicated on the popup window thatit is supported on at least win xp pro
Posted by: Overclocker16
So only on XP Pro?
That should be mentioned. This doesn't work (atleast for me) on XP Home.
If it does, can someone send the file?

I searched for QoS.
Here is the thing.
[quote]To install QoS Packet Scheduler
Open Network Connections.
Click the Local Area Connection on which you want to install QoS Packet Scheduler, and then, on the File menu, click Properties.
If QoS Packet Scheduler is listed in the Components checked are used by this connection box, then it is already installed and you don't need to continue. If it is not listed, continue with the next step.
Click Install, click Service, and then click Add.
Click QoS Packet Scheduler, and then click OK.
Notes
To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.
Install Packet Scheduler on any end-systems on which you want to enable traffic shaping, traffic marking, or ISSLOW on a dial-up connection.[/quote]
Should I uninstall it? Is there a way to change settings in it?
Posted by: devlish96
i'm sure there's some "work around" out there.
not quit sure how you're gonna do it...but this really works
Posted by: Overclocker16
As far as I know, it only works on Windows Server 2003 (enterprise in my place) and XP Pro.

what happened to this one? this looks promising..
Posted by: Overclocker16
Because I don't know how to edit anything in it.
Posted by: Slam'n Systems
yea...it works on Win2k3 Enterprise and XP Pro...thats all i see
Posted by: devlish96
ok here's for you overclocker,..try this. search for your network connections just as you described above. then right click on the icon..go to properties..click on the networking tab...is if theres any option for QoS Packet Scheduler. if there is ...check the box right next to it and install. not sure if this would work,...you can at least give it a try.
Posted by: daveppeters
So does this tip only work on XP Pro, cuz I have XP Home. Is there any workaround or way to apply this in XP Home?
Posted by: devlish96
daveppeters,
thats exactly what we're trying to find out...
Posted by: microsoftne
sorry for the delay in answering, I have been extrememly busy...I am discussing it with some of the origional programmers for xp i shall return with the results soon.....
Posted by: devlish96
no problem ,...your help will be extremely useful...and please keep sendin those tips!
Posted by: Shakie
Hrm... this didn't help me any... :(
Posted by: stormy78
I'm going to give it a try. Will this take effect the next time I connect to the internet or while I'm connected?
Posted by: devlish96
I think you have to reboot. thats what i did.
Posted by: stormy78
Hmm, it didn't really help. It must not really help out very well for dial-up users.
Posted by: Apokalipse
well ive got XP Home and broadband internet do you think there is a way to make it even faster
