Enabling ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) in Vista
I was made aware of this "secret" advanced networking feature in Vista and
found several Microsoft pages on how to enable it. Does anyone know enough about this to know if turning it on will help my network performance in any way? I tested my home router and it supports ECN. The documentation online indicates that some routers kill ECN marked packets because they don't recognize bits in that position. But since I know that my home router supports this feature, is there any reason why I should not enable this advanced networking feature? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! - John

Enabling ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) in Vista- James
Open a command prompt as an adminstrator or you will get an error that request needs to be elevated.
Type "netsh int tcp show global" this will show your current TCP/IP state To enable ECN, in command prompt type: "netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=enabled" To enable CTCP (Compound TCP)in command prompt type: "netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp" To verify changes Type "netsh int tcp show global" Hope this helps Jim

Thanks Barb and Jim for the assistance. I will get to that once I got out of
my current mess of BSOD's (other thread). -- regards Joris "James OHara" wrote: Open a command prompt as an adminstrator or you will get an error that request needs to be elevated.
