This worked pretty good.. the one step you forgot is that you have to run the command prompt as the system administrator or it will not let you make the modifications…

You made a point Richard. I totally forgot about that part. I will tell you more. I have checked other articles of mine, and I have forgotten to mention that part as well. I hope my readers will forgive me. Thanks again.

i mean…ok it makes vista internet or network or what ever faster….. but why do you need to change those command….?

Hello Jhon,
the answer is quite simple. Some routers, modems and networks devices are not compatible with the auto-tuning features, slowing the whole connection down.

hi, i tried the steps above and wanted to revert it but when i typed the steps to reverse it only tells that ‘the parameter is incorrect’. so what should i do now?

Hello and thanks for your question!
Apparently, some computer takes another parameter. Try “normal” instead of “enabled”. Your issue has been reported with the autotuning parameter only, as far as I can see. So here is the working command:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal
or
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
As far as the other commands, the ones reported in the article should still work, otherwise replace enabled with normal

The article:- How to Speed up Vista Internet Connection
This does not work on my computer.
After typing in :-
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
I get the message-
Global Command failed on IPv4
requires elevation

Cheers for this tweak,Web Talk it has made my internet connection a damn sight faster.
I suppose this tweak would also depend on how much bandwidth you have with your internet service provider?

Exactly, William. If you have a dial-up connection, this trick won’t turn it to a DSL connection!

I had the same result as William Southall : “set global command failed on IPv4. The requested operation requires elevation”…
Could you please give me a hand with this …. I really don’t understand what it means.
Thanks.

SOrry for the mistake … is Edward and not William Southall.

Jorge and Edward-you need full admin rights in your command prompt window. When you open command prompt window, rt. click on it and select open as administrator. You should be fine from there.
