Some Internet tricks
To Increase the Internet Speed:

Open Notepad and paste the below code in it.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic
es\Tcpip\Parameters]"SackOpts"=dword:00000001"TcpWindowSize"=dword:000
5ae4c"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003"DefaultTTL"=dwor
d:00000040"EnablePMTUBHDetect"=dword:00000000"Enab
lePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000001"GlobalMaxTcpWindow Size"=dword:0005ae4c
Now save this file as speed.reg. Execute it and observe the change!

Speed Up Browsing By DNS Cache:

Each time you browse a web site on the internet, the actual site name
you type is resolved to an IP address. This translation is effected
through what is called the DNS (Domain Name System). This DNS
information is stored in your computer so that each time you type a web
address , a record of its IP address is stored so that it can be
recalled later without having to retrieve it again. One way to speed up
your browsing experience is to increase this DNS cache in windows XP.
You will need to modify registry for this. Start notepad & enter
the following text into it:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic
esDnscache\Parameters] "CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180"MaxCacheEntryT
tILimit"=dword:0000fa00 "MaxSOACacheEntryTtILimit"=dword:0000012d Save
this file, naming it dnscache.reg . Double click on the file in windows
explorer & merge it into your registry.

Changing Your Dynamic IP Address:

1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit okay
4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"
8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1
and 2 until it fill the area up). 12. Press "Tab" and it should
automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "ok" button here
14. Hit the "ok" button again
15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
18. Hit "ok"
19. Hit "ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address
Using The Mouse Wheel To Control The Font Size:
Try using the Control key with the mouse wheel. This works a zoom
function. You do this for Office 2000 applications as well, but in IE
it just works on the text, so the page stays somewhat the same.

Increasing Band-Width By 20%:

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own
purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etcTo get it
back:Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This
opens the group policy editor. Then go to:Local Computer Policy then
Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates then Network then
QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.Double
click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured,
but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet
Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a
connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."So
the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This
will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default
20%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

Customize Internet Explorer's Title Bar:

Open Registry by going to Start then Run and Enter regedit. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet. Explorer\Main. In right
hand panel look for string "Window Title" and change its value to
whatever custom text you want to see.
