There is a setting located in your windows registry called the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU).

This determines the size of the packets of data sent between your and your server. In Windows

95, this setting is has a value of 1,500 bytes when the actual size of internet packets is 1,000

bytes. This can sometimes slow things down. To remedy the situation, simply follow these steps:

In the registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe), navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans. In the

NetTrans folder you should find another folder named "000x" in which x represents a fourth

digit. Right-click on the "000x" folder and select New and StringValue. Rename the item that

appears in the panel on the right side to MaxMTU, then double-click it to bring up the Edit

String box and give it a velue of 1002.
