Dear fernacOa, I saw your post regarding DNS servers. I have the same ZTE ZXDSL 831AII model of DSL modem supllied by BSNL. AS my modem is configured for auto-assigning IP address and auto-DNS ,I was unable to use openDNS servers which offer much better performance. In addition to BSNL, I have also have a internet connection through local cable operator. In this connection I have set openDNS servers as primary/secondary DNS servers. Here static IP is provided and believe me pages open much faster than BSNL. How did you change primary/secondary DNS servers in ZXDSL modem ? I am unable to locate the menu/page . You step-by-step guide would be much useful . Member niraj8241 is correct in advising you to change to openDNS servers .IT is my experience and of my other members that openDNS servers offer much better performance vis-a -vis BSNL 's own DNS servers. please try them and advise your experience. perry261 date: 27.04.2008 time : 14.06 hrs __________________

Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 17 Rep Power: 4 When pinging the OpenDNS Servers as opposed to nsx.bsnl.in (where x = 1 to 6) I find that the OpenDNS Servers are much slower. So much for speed. But they may be useful where acess to websites are concerned. For example, I have difficulties accessing websites like: mail.google.com majorgeeks.com softpedia.com I resolved the problem of opeining my gmail using gmail notifier. Any suggestions on the other two? Tony

I am not sure that this will do the trick. uTorrent may try to have many half open connections but Windows will not allow more than 10. Are you sure that this is working for you?

I have a file...with which you can configure your tcpip.sys to change half-open limit. if you just change it in the utorrent preference it will make no difference in speed. unfortunately, I cannot post outside urls file's name is "Half-open_limit_fix_3.8.exe" google it. if u really want it...pm me, i'll pm u the rapidsharelink :rockon:
