Increase cable modem or DSL speed in XP

This draw is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with winXP professional version – might work on Home version also. It module probably work with networked machines as well but I haven’t tried it in that configuration. This is for windows XP only, it does not work on win2000.

I use 3 Com game so I don’t know how it works on others at this point. It does not involve editing the registry. This draw assumes that you have let winXP create a unification on establish for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your unification has tcp/ip – QoS – file and print sharing – and computer for microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that winxp module notice your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn’t do not essay this.

In the “My Network Places” properties (right click on the desktop icon and opt properties), particular the unification then at the schedule bar opt “Advanced” then “Advanced Settings”. Uncheck the two boxes in the modify half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK

1. From the windows XP cd in the support directory from the support cab, extract the file netcap.exe and place it in a directory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C:\\ drive.

2. next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you place netcap.exe. then identify “netcap”. It module list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon utility module be installed. At the bottom you module wager your adapters. You should wager two of them if using a 3Com card. One module be for LAN and the other module be for WAN something or other.

3. Next identify “netcap/Remove”. This module remove the netmon driver.

4. Open up control panel system dev man and look at your network adapters. You should now wager two of them and one module have a yellow ! on it. Right click on the one without the yellow ! and opt uninstall. YES! you are uninstalling your network adapter, move with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.

5. Check your unification properties to attain trusty that no unification exists. If you intend a wizard just equilibrate out of it.

6. Now re-start the machine.

7. After re-start go to your unification properties again and you should have a new unification called “Local area unification 2″. particular the unification then at the schedule bar opt “Advanced” then “Advanced Settings”. Uncheck the two boxes in the modify half for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.

8. Choose unification properties and uncheck the “QOS” box

9. Re-start the machine

10. after restart enjoy the accumulated responsivness of IE, faster page loading, and a unification speed boost.
Why it works, it seems that windows XP, in its zeal to attain trusty every base is covered installs two seperate versions of the NIC card. One you do not normally wager in any properties.

Remember the “netcap” command above showing two different adapters? The LAN one is the one you see. The invisible one loads everything down and its like your running two removed game together, sharing a unification among two cards, this method breaks this “bond” and allows the NIC to run un-hindered
