Faster Connections to Internet Service Providers
------------------------------------------------

You might be able to reduce the time it takes to connect to 
your Internet Service Provider (ISP). To do so, carry out the 
following steps:

1. In Dial-Up Networking, locate the icon for the connection 
that you use.

2. Right-click the icon, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Networking tab, and then clear the following check boxes: 
NetBEUI, IPX/SPX Compatible

4. Click the Security tab, and then clear the Log On To Network 
check box.

5. Verify that you can still connect. Most ISPs don’t use 
these settings, and it can take up to 60 seconds to time 
out.
