Dial Up Network Tips

These tips are based on my own empirical tests and apply only to Windows 98.

Windows 98 is more or less the same as Windows 95 with winsock 2 and DUN 1.3. There is not too much to do to improve it. The main area that need attention is the receive window which defaults to 8192 and means windows is a bit slow in acknowledging data received.

Also see the FAQ for answers to common questions. For Windows 95 see the Windows 95 DUN tips page.

To save repeating myself I refer below to Your Dun Properties by that I mean:- Double click My Computer, Double Click Dial-Up Networking, Right click your ISP DUN and select properties.
