Yep,

here it is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\NetTrans\0008]
"DriverDesc"="TCP/IP"
"InfSection"="MSTCP.ndi"
"IPAddress"="0.0.0.0"
"IPMask"="0.0.0.0"
"DeviceVxDs"="vtdi.386,vip.386,vtcp.386,vdhcp.386,vnbt.386"
"InstallVnbt"="0"
"InfPath"="NETTRANS.INF"
"ProviderName"="Microsoft"
"DriverDate"=" 5-11-1998"
"DevLoader"="*ndis"
"MaxMTU"="576"
"MaxMSS"="536"

You see the MaxMTU and MaxMSS string values ? These are the entries that need to be placed (if not already there) in this section. Make sure the values are as referenced 576 and 536 respectively. Note >> you can see the end of my subkey end with 0008. Yours may be 0000 or another number. Just make sure your in the section that states TCPIP.

Next to finish off your improved internet speed you must go to this subkey too and make these changes or add the string value entries and their values:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP]
"LMHostFile"="C:\\WINDOWS\\lmhosts"
"EnableDNS"="0"
"Lanabase"="0"
"LocalCopyMade"="1"
"DefaultRcvWindow"="3216"
"DefaultTTL"="64"

if not there add these two:

DefaultRcvWindow
DefaultTTL

mine above shows the values of 3216 and 64 respectively.

and now for the final tweak:

head off to modem Properties select the Connection tab then Ports settings make sure the FIFO is checked then make the Receive Buffer maximum. next go to Advanced then Extra settings type in s11(that's S eleven) s11=30. after all these changes reboot. I have a 56k modem and my download transfer rate went from an average of 3.50 KB per second to over 5.50. my web pages load much much faster I average 1 MB every 3 minutes on a typical download. For the modem tweak of s11=30 check how things go you can increase the =number if needed. the lower the value then faster the data rate. 30 is the minimum but it can disconnect you sometimes it hasn't happened to me but it happened to my friend and he ended setting his to s11=40
