| XP's default network settings for Maximum Transmission Unit, Receive Window, and such, |
| may or may not be ideal for your circumstances. The only way to know is to take a close |
| look: For example, DSL Reports and SpeedGuide have excellent free information, online |
| tests, and even one-click tweaks that can automatically optimize all or some of XP's |
| internal plumbing for high-speed connectivity. DSL Reports also offers a free, simple |
| network tweaking tool called DrTCP that lets you instantly and easily adjust a variety of |
| parameters; this tool makes iterative testing a snap, as you experiment to find the best |
| settings for your particular setup. |
| (Incidentally, when WinXP-specific solutions aren't offered, use those for Windows 2000; |
| that's the closest match for XP.) |
