Speed Up Your Internet Connection - Vista & Windows 7

[aesmath]

Having problems with opening a page? You're too fast for your internet connection? Don't want to pay more for a faster speed? Well, here's where EMF and I come in handy.

On your Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine, do the following steps:

1. Open the command prompt as an administrator. If you can't find it, type cmd in the search box. Right click where is says Command Prompt and run it as an administrator.
2. In order to view your initial settings, copy and paste:
   netsh interface tcp show global
3. Then, from an elevated command prompt, type:
   
   netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
   netsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabled
   netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
   
   

There you go! There is absolutely no need to restart your computer in order to see the changes. It is an instantaneous reaction. Enjoy the instant increase in speed internet connection!

If at any time you want to revert back to your original settings, simply type the following by opening the command prompt in the same manner as described above:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal
netsh interface tcp set global chimney=enabled
netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, as usual, let me know through PM or by replying to this thread.

Well , this post is an excellent information about the internet speed enhancement . My Friend is using Windows Vista and he is desperate to have a high speed internet activity. I would surely let him know this process. Thanks friend for sharing this nice information.

I will like to know is there is any side effect to this as will it not cause any harm to the system

I appreciated your information and i am also using windows 07 Ultimate Edition and really without any doubt the speed of Internet very good and excellent and there are very low chances to harm this window via different internet spy viruses.
And I am very thankful for this nice and good information.........

Your welcome guys.

olaseni, the first time I encountered this method I thought the same thing. I was concerned about the harm that might come along with it. But since implementing this code on my computer for 3 months now, I can safely say that no harm happens to your computer. Everything works the way it used it, just faster! Hope I clear off your doubts.

Do you really think that this will work coz if this would be working people would take a 256KB speed plan and enjoy a 8 MBPS plan...... Just clear it once that is this for real

[aesmath]

I am using Vista and this really works for me. I would appreciate if members that have tried this method will post in this thread to clear Ravi Teja's doubt.

[olaseni]

I have not try the code but will be expecting that of the XP becuase the system i use most of the time is XP and the other which is Vista is once in a while i use that as i do change the so on this system almost every month.
