We have detected another useful way of increasing your internet speeds. This tip helps windows users to increase their internet speed or bandwidth by 20%. If you don’t know, by default, windows use 20% of your bandwidth. Microsoft reserves this 20% for their purposes (suspect for updates, report error or other similar things). With a little modification of specific windows function, you can back this 20% for you own use and increase your internet speed for 20%.

Instructions for increasing internet speed for 20%:

Click: Start --> Run -->type "gpedit.msc" without the quotes. This will open the group policy editor. Choose from menu: Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler -> Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. Windows will say it is not configured, but the real status is shown under the 'Explain' tab: "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."
Now, just enable reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
That's it!

This modification will not allow to Microsoft to reserve 20% of your internet speed for their purposes. Changing of this parameter to ZERO will not change windows performance; just will increase your internet speed and bandwidth.

Using net send on Windows XP Service Pack 2

Posted by bogonko

symtoms
After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on your computer, you may not be able to send or to receive messages by using the Windows operating system NET SEND command. You may notice this problem in one or in all the following scenarios:

• When you use the NET SEND notification method to notify a SQL Server operator about the events that have occurred on the instance of SQL Server.
  
• When you run the NET SEND command by using the xp_cmdshell extended system stored procedure to send a message to a user or to a computer on the network.
  

Additionally, you may receive the following error message when you try to send a message by using the NET SEND command:

An error occurred while sending a message to "Computer Name". The message alias could not be found on the network. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273.

This problem occurs when one of the following conditions is true:

• The source computer is running Microsoft Windows XP SP2.
  
• The destination computer is running Microsoft Windows XP SP2.
  

As a result, the destination computer does not receive the messages that are sent by the NET SEND command. possible causes This problem occurs because the Messenger service is disabled. The messenger service must run on the destination computer to enable the NET SEND command. By default, the Messenger service is disabled on computers that are running Microsoft Windows XP SP2. solving To work around this problem, change the Startup type of the Messenger service to Automatic, and then start the Messenger service. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Explorer.
   
2. In the left pane, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
   
3. In the Computer Management window, expand Services and Applications in the left pane, and then click Services.
   
4. In the right pane, double-click Messenger.
   
5. In the Messenger Properties (Local Computer) dialog box, click the General tab.
   
6. On the General tab, select Automatic from the Startup type list, and then click Apply.
   
7. Under Service status, click Start, and then click OK.
   

status This behavior is by design. More Informaiton You can use an alternative method such as sending an e-mail message to communicate with Windows users or with computers instead of using the NET SEND command. Caution Do not enable the Messenger service if your computer is connected to the Internet. Get visual basic tutorials on www.vbasic.6te.net
