You can simply remove the checkmark from the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in the Network Adapter properties, or set the value with the Optimizer, it is in the "Advanced" tab...

Note it only comes into play in the presense of a running application that indicates it needs high priority/real time traffic ...

How do I go about this?

Faction

Can someone tell me the pro's and con's of some software firewalls out there? Such as people saying that ZoneAlarm sucks. Kerio, Sygate..etc. I use ZoneAlarm because I can control which programs have access to the internet and ones that don't.
