If you tune & tweak the Tcp/IP stack in Windows Server 2003, this .reg file has ALL possible tweakings for it, fully documented with defaults listed so you can know what it is you are working on is, what its default is, and so you have a concise reference to change them back if you wish.
It is recommended if you install them, that you backup/export out the original settings first from the registry, & is listed in the install directions below as step #1.
ALL settings are split into 2 distinct groups in the saved .reg file you make from the 2 groups of data above!
(The first group internal to this file data being noted internally in the text for the .reg file you saved to disk as to what appears by default in your registry (per Microsoft OEM original Tcp/IP stack installation entries), & then secondly in a group in the same .reg file text data (noting NEW/NOT APPEARING BY DEFAULT settings added per each item that IS a non-default one))
It also lists new settings in this area in the registry for registry entries hacks unique to Windows Server 2003 as well as what is now deprecated vs. NT/2000/XP.
Full URL's to Microsoft are included as well, to the actual documtation from them (the Horses' Mouth) for these settings, which was used to help you on each as they are worked on for your future reference while working with them also.
To use/install them :
-------------------------------------
1.) Perform a regedit.exe File Menu-> Export of this section key (folder) in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
First, so you have a .reg file of the default entries (as this adds MANY more).
2.) Get out notepad.exe
3.) Copy them from the posting here between the first line and the last one in the second post.
4.) Paste each into notepad.exe (concatenating them)
5.) Save the .reg file to a name of your choosing like:
APKTunedWindowsServer2003SpeedAndSecurityRegHacks.reg
(Being sure to use File menu -> Save As submenu options, changing from the default .txt value to save the file as, instead to .reg & type ALL FILES, & then save it to disk for later registry merge! )
6.) Once saved, open Explorer.exe and double-click on the .reg extension filename you saved to disk to merge it
7.) Reboot system for it to take effect.
* You'll note a good boost in your networking speed locally AND online!
