PS EDIT: i applied the SCI tweak... and this is the best tweak/hack for the Vogue so far! great find guys!

Yep I have mine set to 0, it's a definite must have, just so you know it stays the same through a hard reset as it's a device setting and not a reg edit.

There is also a program "getspc" that will give you your msl, for mogul/touch you have to put an exrtra dll in device\windows to make it work but it works fine.

dwehking:

I tried your suggestion to make my Touch faster, but unfortunately access to these two changes was denied! Do you know if there is a work-around for this?
Thanks.

Let's speed up My Internet

Change your DNS server to OpenDNS

Do at your own risk, in the first hack you would normally delete the HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk from the Startup folder so HTC_CM_Guardian.exe won't start. Normally upon startup it will start and change back your DNS settings that we are going to change. HTC_CM_Guardian.exe sets your internet settings back to Sprints settings constantly. It starts everytime the Touch starts.

I couldn't find the HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk startup link in the \windows\startup folder on my Touch as it is on the Mogul so the Touch is starting the
HTC_CM_Guardian.exe from somewhere else, upon startup.

So since I couldn't stop it from starting I had to overwrite it with a inert file.

We are first going to copy the original HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file from \device\windows to a safe place for future use if ever needed. If you ever have trouble just copy the original back to \device\windows and soft reset or just execute it from wherever you saved it.

Next we are going to take a small inert file on our device and rename it to HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and then move it to the \device\windows folder on our touch and confirm overwrite (use Resco or similar to overwrite) so the real HTC_cm_guardian won't start.

Soft reset


Now for the actual settings change to Speed up browsing with OpenDNS:

Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Manage existing connections

Select SprintPCS, then Edit...

Hit Next and Next again, then click Advanced...

Under Servers tab select Use specific server address

Enter the following:

DNS: 208.67.222.222

Alt DNS: 208.67.220.220

Hit OK then Finish

Soft reset

When you first reconnect to the internet it will ask you for name\pass......well just leave the name and pass blank and check the box to remember.



Next are a few other Edits that I got from another website and they seem to have made a very noticeable difference, without any side effects for me.
The first ones are just changed values and then the others you create an entry, just "create a new DWORD value"


HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\
TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions = dword: 6
TcpWindowSize = dword: 256960

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings
MaxConnectionsPerServer = dword: 00000010

Create the following DWORD value in this directory (the 0 in "0server" is a number)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = dword: 00000020


In the following directory create all 3 DWORD values

HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms\
Tcp1323Opts = dword: 1 (O before pts is the capital letter o)
TcpMaxDupAcks = dword: 2
EnablePMTUDiscovery = dword: 1


My Internet is sooooooooooo Frickin Fast now, really


I have included a "fake" HTC_CM_Guardian file to put on your phone in the windows file, it's just the PPST.dll file from Getspc renamed.

For your Windows Mobile 5/WM 6.0 'Crossbow' (PocketPC)
This my help for the people trying to change there DSN,
Did all your hacks to SPEED up my Internet on my TOUCH! WORK LIKE A CHARM
MY PPC INTERNET ON MY DEVICE IS FAST AS h#ll! THANK'S

[riironman]

whats the difference in internet speed?

[antoniouslj]

wow... the internet tweak is pretty awesome!

before when i started up pie (without it running in the bg), it'd take almost 5 secs to get my first site up...

now it never takes longer than 2 secs to pull up a wap site from clicking the link.

internet and browsing is more than twice as fast... now i need to benchmark!

EDIT: after browsing more... i realize 2 seconds is a little high, try less than 1 sec per page! this is faster than my work internet!

suuuuhhhwweeeet!

Great work

Internet speed (throughput) didn't increase but the page loading time is amazing fast.

i allready had TCP1323Opts = 3
and you asked to create Tcp1323Opts = 1

I changed the original to 1, is this cap sensitive?

Its look like the phone prefer to connect now to X1 instead of EV


Found this :

Tcp1323Opts
Tcp1323Opts is a necessary setting in order to enable Large TCPWindow support as described in RFC 1323. Without this parameter, the TCPWindow is limited to 64K.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Param eters
Tcp1323Opts="1" (DWORD, recommended setting is 1. The possible settings are 0 - Disable RFC 1323 options, 1 - Window scaling but no Timestamp options, 3 - Window scaling and Time stamp options.) Note: Tcp1323Opts="3" might help in some cases where there is increased packet loss, however generally you'll achieve better throughput with Tcp1323Opts="1", since Timestamps add 12 bytes to the header of each packet.

Yeah the OpenDNS definetely gives a nice little boost in page loading....

Here's a little simplified explaination of why it does what it does in case anyone doesn't know.....

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is a server that constantly maintains and accumulates a list of valid domain names from the internet and the actual I.P. addresses (204.67.176.408 ) that correspond to them, which is what we really need to go to a website.

Now when you type in "ppcgeeks.com" the request gets routed to the Sprint DNS servers, as each ISP use certain DNS servers, well by changing the settings we are routing our request to the OpenDNS servers.
The OpenDNS servers are a little faster than the ISP servers, so we get to the website a little faster. That's basically what's going on.
