Glad the tweak worked for you. Just a word of advice - if you have a Residential DSL account with FastAccess, I don't recommend running more than one PC on the single connection; their Network Sysops run "network sweeps" to check what IPs are being held by which hardware (MAC) addresses; if they see more than one MAC address on a single IP, or more than one IP from a single location, your account can be temporarily disabled; but if more than 3 instances are logged, your account is gone for good, and your DSL line provisioning taken off. If your line qualifies, you can convert to a Small Business account for $15 more per month, and have as many PCs on a single connection as you like. here to help, miss kool :) In article <39C4367F.2E7B8F37@nashville.com>, JP White <jp.white@nashville.com> wrote: > Bruce Malmat wrote: > > > With ADSL on Win98 SE, I have set DefaultRcvWindow to 64240, as is widely > > recommended.
