If you have a broadband connection on a windows XP machine. If you are using applications that are QoS aware or running a server, this is one way to hug some bandwidth, not useful if you’re not. You could improve your connection speed by adjusting a few settings on your machine. Note this tip I’m about to show you does not work with windows XP Home.
Quality of Service packet scheduler or QoS is a method of network bandwidth management that monitor the packets to and from your machine and depending on the importance of the packet give it higher bandwidth or lower bandwidth.
- Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
- Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).
- Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.
- Expand the Administrative Templates branch.
- Expand the Network branch.
- Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.
- In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.
- On setting tab check the ENABLED item.
- Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).
- Close gpedit.msc.
Some systems will require you to reboot before it takes effect. Others don’t, the effect is immediate
