Unclog Your Net Access, Part Deux

When the Internet dies, blame me, Steve "Bozo" Bass. At least, that's the word from members of the North American Network Operators Group. The responses came after I suggested in June's @Home Office that readers tweak a Registry setting to speed up Internet access. NANOG members worried that, if readers took my advice, the Net would melt.

So they flamed me. They called me a bozo, accused me of being antisocial, and asked (rhetorically, I think) if I was an imbecile or a moron. (I like the bozo characterization--it matches my hairline.)

Well, fuel up your flamethrowers, folks, because I'm about to do it again. I've uncovered more ways to unclog your Internet access. And I don't care who knows about it.
