Re: packetloss

I remember!!!

This is one of the most popular (and arguably most useful) yet most overlooked XP tweaks.

By default, Windows XP reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for its "Quality of Service" (QoS) applications so it can prioritize certain QoS-aware applications for bandwidth access. This is not only unneccessary in most cases, but it can reduce the maximum speeds you get for a particular application, particularly if you're on a fast Network connection. It should be noted that this doesn't affect the speed of your Internet downloads.

This 20% minimum can't be removed even by unchecking QoS in the network control panel applet. Here's how you can use the Group Policy to change the Reserved Bandwidth:-

1. Log onto your computer with an account that has Administrative rights.
2. Open the Start Menu and click on Run.
3. Type gpedit.msc in the available field and click OK.
4. Once the Group Policy MMC snap-in loads, expand the Computer configuration > Administrative templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler branches.
5. Double click on the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
6. Change the selected option at the top from "Not configured" or "Disabled" to "Enabled".
7. Change The "Bandwidth Limit %" To 0 (Or however-much you want to reserve for QoS-aware applications).
8. Click OK to dismiss the window, and close the Group Policy Editor.

9. To check and make sure you haven't previously deactivated QoS from the Control Panel, go to your Network Connections dialog (in the Control Panel), right click on your connection, choose properties. Under the General or the Networking tab (where it lists your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is checked.
10. Reboot your computer for these changes to take effect.
