274033 2005-09-23 21:39:00 can you do this on win98?
Try downloading FreshUI from Fresh Device (http://www.freshdevices.com) and tweak the QoS settings using that software.

A nice little tweak for XP . M*crosoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc . . )

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit . msc" without the "
.
.
.


Easier way is just go to network connections, select the properties and in there you will find the QOS service . Simply remove it entirely and it will be removed from all connections .
Does not stuff up you connection in any way . Does speed up Dialup and if you have been throttled back on broadband (relative to what you are doing . VoIP is suppose to use it so that it has enough room to get through without getting choppy) .
You can always add it back later if you want it back .

274037 2005-09-24 03:51:00 Stu: It's not a problem. It's a very good thing when someone uses the search utility to find any previous threads about a problem, then adds their own question to the most relevant thread. That brings up what was previously said, and has produced sensible suggestions.

Well done, MACIAN. :cool:
