			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you experience slowdowns or poor network performance in Windows Vista like slow browsing performance occasionally or all the time you might use a router or network device that is causing problems for Microsoft&#8217;s Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level. It&#8217;s not the routers fault or your fault but more something that is caused by how the new feature was implemented into Windows Vista.</p>
<p>The fix is rather straightforward, you need to run several commands in the command line as an administrator. Start with <strong>netsh interface tcp show global</strong> which displays the TCP Global Parameters. One parameter listed is called <strong>Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level</strong> which can be restricted, disabled, normal or highlyrestricted and probably several other that are not that important for the solution.</p>
<p>The command <strong>netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled</strong> disables auto tuning which should lead to a speed increase if your computer experienced slowdowns and connection errors. Setting <strong>autotuning=normal</strong> returns to the default state for the autotuning parameter. Some suggest <a href="http://www.wisebread.com/quick-vista-hack-to-get-you-browsing-at-high-speed-again">to</a> set <strong>autotuning=restricted</strong> before disabling it fully or <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929868">to</a> <strong>autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-3839"></span>I would begin with restricted, if that does not help I would change to highlyrestricted and if that does not have the desired effect I would disable the feature completely.  </p>
