TCP
/ IP
How can
I configure more than 6 IP addresses? |
Using the TCP/IP configuration GUI you are limited to 6 IP
addresses however more can be added by directly editing the
registry:
- Log on as an Administrator
- Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)
- Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\Services and scroll down to the service
for your adapter card (Look at the adapters tab on the Network
Control panel applet). For example the Etherlink 3 card is
Elnk3, however you want the first occurrence so goto Elnk31.
- Move to the Parameters\TCPIP subkey
- Double click the IPAddress value. Enter in additional IP
addresses separated by a new line
- When finished click OK
- Next edit the SubnetMask and again add an entry for each
IP address added (in the same order). Click OK when finished.
- Close the registry editor
- Reboot the machine
How
can I configure the amount of bandwidth that Windows reserves
for Quality of Service (QoS)? |
QoS provides a guaranteed level of service for media-rich
applications and some mission-critical applications. By default,
Windows reserves only 20 percent of the connection bandwidth
for QoS. To adjust this setting in the registry, perform the
following steps:
- Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
- Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
PSched\Parameters\Adapters\{} registry subkey.
- From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value.
- Enter the name NonBestEffortLimit, then press Enter.
- Double-click the new value, set it to the new level (e.g.,
50 in decimal base), then click OK.
- Restart the computer for the change to take effect.
