Make your Internet 2 times as fast at no additional cost!The most complete guide!Aug 08 '00 Write an essay on this topic.Do you want to make your Internet faster? Then, follow the following steps,and you'll be enjoying faster Internet for FREE. You say how? Well Bill Gates has couple secrets in Windows 95/98, if we un-checked couple boxes, and check couple boxes, then you will have as much as 2 times faster Internet as you had before. Let's get started. First things first. Get free fast Internet with no ads,http://ijoined.epinions.com/cmd-review-27FC-183941E8-3968F3EE-prod5 This Internet is faster then AOL, MSN, and other !&%! out there. Tools In order to tweak your Internet connection, you need to download some tools at download.com. Any of the following will do. The following will change your settings 1. TweakDun- 30 day demo, $12.50 2. MtuSpeed- Free 3. PPP Boost 4. The one that I use- Netlocity The following upgrades your version of Dial-Up Networking 1. Dial- Up Networking 1.2</p> The following checks how fast is your Internet connection 1. Net.Medic- 30 days free- 50 dollars 2. Starfish Internet utilities- 19.95</p> 3. ComputingCentral.com- free</p> Let's check your Internet connection Click start- run then type 'command' when it's opened, type 'ping yahoo.com'. Now check the results, if the results are 300ms, or less, then stop reading this article, because it will not speed up your already fast internet connection. If the results are more then 300ms, then go on. If the results says 'timed out', then you have a serious problem with your Internet connection. Who's problem is it, the site's? or ISP's? Click start- run then type 'tracert (youraddress).com'. There you will see 30 hops, there if the ISP is taking more then 400 ms, then consider changing, if the web site is taking more then 400 ms then e-mail them. Check the phone Log off the Internet, and pick up the phone. If it is not clear, then you have a line problem. Call your telephone company to fix it. Check your ISP's true speed <p>Go to http://computingcentral.com/topics/bandwidth/speedtest.asp and see what is your true line speed. For 56k modems you should have speeds between 40,000bps and 50,000 bps. If it is like 28,000 BPS or lower, then you have a serious problem, consider changing ISP's. Maybe it's your computer's fault? If you have less them 64 mb of RAM, then you need more RAM, because it slows down your Internet connection. When you load a page, your computer has to process it, and if there's not enough RAM, then thrashing occurs and computer becomes very slow. Other tips- Defragment your hard drive(click on my computer- select properties of C:, click tools, and there you will see defragment). The most important stuff Now it's time for those tools. Open Netlocity, (or others). Change everything to recommended. Or set it your self to the following: MTU -576 bytes MSS- 536 bytes RWIN- 3,216 TTL- 64 Also read the help files, maybe they will know more then I do. Favorites Do you want to get to Epinions.com faster? Then click start- run- command and say ping epinions.com you will get the following address 216.52.17.42. Now go to your favorites right click on epinions.com select properties, and instead of epinions.com write 216.52.17.42, that way you will get to it faster. You can do this with any site! Faster start-up Do you really use the page that loads at the start? If yes skip this section. If not, then change it to blank page.</p> Netscape- Edit-Preferences- Navigator- and check the blank page box Internet Explorer- View-Options-General- button 'use blank' Extra Stuff Do you need the graphics every time you go to a page, if yes skip this section. If you don't need the pictures, then why slow your Internet down, turn off graphics. Netscape- Edit-Preferences- Advanced-uncheck Automatically load images Internet Explorer- View- Options- Advanced- Uncheck the stuff that you don't need in Multimedia. Also you can turn anything off, but the text. For people who have a fast computer Use the power of your fast computer by increasing the cache(Loads web sites from your PC). Increase your cache size. Netscape- Options-Network Preferences-Choose the cache tab- and increase it to 5% of your hard drive. Internet Explorer- view- options-general- click temporary Internet files- under setting choose 5% cache. Improve your modem Go to your modem's site, and check out the latest drivers! If all fails Get DSL, get cable, get a faster modem. If you need the speed then pay 40 dollars a month, and you'll get DSL, which is 5 times as faster as your dial-up, and plus it doesn't tie up your phone line.
