Boost is the secret!

I used to get connected to the internet at 33.6kbps 90% of the time and 10% at 50.6kbps. After I visited tweakxp.com and made some registry settings changes I am getting connected at 50.6kbps 99% of the time and it's excellent. I used several softwares, made several registry settings changes but three to four of these important registry settings made the difference.

The registry settings that are new and are awesome are some of these...

•     Faster webpage tweak by giving priority to DNS lookup.

Copy and paste the following and make it a .reg file and merge it into your regstry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\ServiceProvider]

"DnsPriority"=dword:00000001
"HostsPriority"=dword:00000001
"LocalPriority"=dword:00000001
"NetbtPriority"=dword:00000001

•     Forward buffer memory tweak, this controls how much RAM TCP/IP uses for storing packet data in the router packet queue.

Copy and paste the following and make it a .reg file and merge it into your regstry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]

"ForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00024a00
"NumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a
"MaxForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00024a00
"MaxNumForwardPackets"=dword:0000024a

•     By default Windows 2K & XP cache everything in the DNS cache service, both correct and faulty DNS lookups. To increase performance by eliminating the caching of faulty DNS lookups, copy and paste the following and make it a .reg file and merge it into your regstry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]

"NegativeCacheTime"=dword:00000000
"NetFailureCacheTime"=dword:00000000
"NegativeSOACacheTime"=dword:00000000

And I wonder if I can tweak further. When you install modem you will have some registry settings that says to the modem to get connected at certain speeds .... for example: ...33.6 if...and then... 36....if and then ....42...if ..and.. then... etc;...

I wonder if I can delete the settings that are lower then 56, 52 ...etc;... Will this do any good or harm? Can I know of more settings apart from the Cablenut software and its latest settings file?
