Search operators

 People find the most websites using a search engine . Here are some basic search operators that could help you find what your searching for a bit easier . If you are , let's say , looking for Trojan horses , meaning info about the viruses , not the greek wooden horses , type "trojan AND horses NOT wood NOT Ulysses" .
OR looks for documents that have at least one of the two words ( football OR soccer) .
AND - see above example .
NOT - see above example .
"" - the quotes mark one or several words as a set term (for example , "search engine") .

Speed up Internet connection

By optimizing the MaxMTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) and MaxMSS (Maximum Segment Size) settings along with the RWIN (Receive WINdow) and TTL (Time to Live) settings you can increase dialup modem connection reliability and performance by as much as 200%.
To change the settings you first have to find the details of your Dial-Up Adapter .
Find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Root\Net and within there will be one or more sub-keys such as 0000, 0001 ... Open each key and find the one that has the value of 'DeviceDesc' equal to 'Dial-Up Adapter' .
Within that key there will also be another sub-key named 'Bindings' . Open the 'Bindings' sub-key and you will find a string name like 'MSTCP\0000'. Take note of the four digit number after 'MSTCP' (here 0000) and use it in the next step . Now go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Enum\Network\MSTCP and expand the sub-key with the same four digit number as from the previous step . In this key you will find a value called 'Driver' and it will be equal to something similar to 'NetTrans\0002'. Take note of this four digit number (in this case 0002) and use it in the next step . Now open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans below there will be one or more sub-key's . Expand the key with the name equal to the four digit number from the previous step . Within this key create a new string value named 'MaxMTU' and set it to '576', and also add a string value named 'MaxMSS' and set it to '536'. Exit the registry and restart your Windows for the changes to take effect.

The next step is the optimization of RcvWindow and DefaultTTL . RWIN is the buffer your machine waits to fill with data before attending to whatever other TCP transactions are occurring on the other threads and sockets WinSock has open while a connection is in progress . The value of TTL (Time To Live) defines how long a packet can stay active before being discarded . The default value is '32'.
1. Open your registry and find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP .
2. Create a new string value named 'DefaultRcvWindow' and set it to '4288'. If 'DefaultRcvWindow' already exists, then simply modify the current value.
3. Also create another string value named 'DefaultTTL' under the same key and set that to '128'. Again if it already exist, simply modify the value.
4. Exit the registry and restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Disclaimer : Always backup your Registry before doing any changes . Be careful . Modifying the Registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system . Use the information on this page at your own risk.
