You can manually set the receive buffers on some (most business class) network adapters on the advanced page of the network adapter's properties in device manager. Make sure you take note of the current configuration. There are very lengthy white papers on tweaking this under various conditions, but it can &quot;break&quot; networking if incorrectly configured. Just make sure you can reset to the original/default option.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
