Apparently this masalah is because Windows Vista has a low initial setting on it’s Auto Tuning feature. What Auto-Tuning does is continually adjusts the TCP/IP receive windows size based on current (and changing) network conditions. It seems that many people have reported problems with auto-tuning causing various network timeout issues with some applications and routers.
If you’re experiencing any of these problems, a supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. See KB947773 at Microsoft Support website for more isu and unduh information.
Workaround
Use one of the following workarounds, as appropriate for your situation. You can turn off Auto Tuning as described below.
- Run a command prompt (cmd.exe) as an Administrator (must have eksekutif privileges)
Type:
Disable the autotunning feature in Vista completely, and fit and lock the RWIN receive window to default value 65536 bytes.
If you want to to re-enable it, type:
In some cases you may need to use this command in addition to the above:
Update! This command makes your network connection EVEN FASTER:
And if you’d like to just view the states of your current TCP parameters, you can use this command:

Disable the autotunning feature in Vista completely, and fit and lock the RWIN receive window to default value 65536 bytes.
If you want to to re-enable it, type:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
In some cases you may need to use this command in addition to the above:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
Update! This command makes your network connection EVEN FASTER:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted
And if you’d like to just view the states of your current TCP parameters, you can use this command:
netsh interface tcp show global
