But i have Win 2000 professional (build on NT technology) service pack 4 with roll up 1.
So,i dont know how to change it properly.

I would like to change it,cos i heard its old fashioned stuff and its not suitable for broadband.I have now 2 mbit/128 kbit adsl connection.In cases of some events slow and retarded.Also its slow in case of some multimedia.
But,is it needed to change it,when next month i can have maybe 8 mbit/512 kbit adsl connection?

Can u help me?;-)

Have a nice days

configured, as per http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-nagle-algorithm.html

To configure the interval timeout in Win2000 SP3+:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \Tcpip \Parameters \Interfaces \{Adapter-id}]
TcpDelAckTicks = 1 (Default=2, 0=Disables nagling, 1-6 = 100-600 ms)

Changing the "TcpDelAckTicks" to 0 Disables this service. Unforunately my file server is on the repair bench so I can't tell you what the registry entry for "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \Tcpip \Parameters \Interfaces \{Adapter-id}]" is on my machine!
