Vista Problems 6 - 3 Steps to Maximize P2p Connections
Vista has limited the half-open (incomplete/sync packets) connection attempts per second, in other words, you can't use P2P software at its' full potential in Vista. You can either wait until P2P software vendors find a way to overcome this problem, or You may want to "Hack" your Vista to support full potential of P2P connection.
Step #1 - Turn Off TCP Auto Tuning
TCP Auto Tuning will delay most P2P software, until the vendors updated their program, you need to turn it off. You can do that by typing " netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disable". Next step you will need to optimize the TCP settings yourself.
Step #2 - Download SG TCP Optimizer
Go to Google and type "SG TCP Optimizer", download and install it. After that, launch the program and select "Optimal settings" and setup the Internet connection speed accordingly, if you are using your computer to direct connect with you DSL modem, check the box "PPPoE", click to apply changes and restart.
Step #3 - Replace TCPIP. sys with the hacked version
Go to Google and type "yaronmaor.net repair", download the patches accordingly and "patch" your TCPIP. sys. The patches works very well, but you need to update it frequently, and after SP1 you need to use boot up menu to bypass "driver signature" for this patch to work.
Use this temporary solution until your vendor updated their software, then you want to revert back the patches. (Revert file included in the patch!)
By now your P2P should be at its full potential, enjoy it!
