Host File on Windows XP

If you want to create a short name for a computer IP or a router IP under Windows XP, this can be done by editing hosts file located in C:\Windows\system32\driver\etc. This is useful when we have to login to a computer without typing the IP address. Example below is my configuration for my router and remote computer.

Dh Share Folder, Tp xleh Nk Access Pd Remote Computer

Ringkasan:
Jika right click pd folder > Properties, pd tab Sharing > Permissions, access telah diberi kepada Everyone; tapi masih lagi problem access folder tersebut pd remote komputer.

Bandwidth Tuning

This is mainly to adjust the bandwidth limit of your computer (Windows XP Pro & Windows Server 2003) to unlimited.

1. Start > Run > gpedit.msc > OK (to open Group Policy Editor)
2. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler > Limit Reservable Bandwidth: Enable = 0 %



Determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can reserve. This value limits the combined bandwidth reservations of all programs running on the system.

By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.

If you enable this setting, you can use the "Bandwidth limit" box to adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system uses the default value of 20 percent of the connection.

Important: If a bandwidth limit is set for a particular network adapter in the registry, this setting is ignored when configuring that network adapter.
