Speed Up Internet access

Windows 2k/XP

  1. First, open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and (after backing up) navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\ServiceProvider
  2. Note the following lines (all hex dwords):
    Class = 008 ( biggrin.gif - indicates that TCP/IP is a name service provider, don't change
    LocalPriority = 1f3 (499) - local names cache
    HostsPriority = 1f4 (500) - the HOSTS file
    DnsPriority = 7d0 (2000) - DNS
    NetbtPriority = 7d1 (2001) - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS
  3. What we're aiming to do is increase the priority of the last 4 settings, while keeping their order. The valid range is from -32768 to +32767 and lower numbers mean higher priority compared to other services. What we're aiming at is lower numbers without going to extremes, something like what's shown below should work well
  4. Change the "Priority" lines to:
    LocalPriority = 005 (5) - local names cache
    HostsPriority = 006 (6) - the HOSTS file
    DnsPriority = 007 (7) - DNS
    NetbtPriority = 008 ( biggrin.gif - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS
  5. Reboot for changes to take effect
