Does your computer connection take 10 to 20 seconds to establish? If
so, you may have a problem with your computer configuration.
This can happen because you upgraded your operating system or you have
added new software from another vendor that has reset your settings
globally (to guarantee a good connection for the other vendor's
application) and unfortunately impacted your connection with CGAZ.COM.
As annoying as this may be, the fix is usually a quick one and
straightfoward.
Modifiying your CGAZ.COM Dial-up Networking
Go to the My Computer icon on your desktop and click. Next click
on the Dial-up Networking icon and select Properties
In the properties window, you will find several settings that can
impact the length of time and sucess rate for your Internet connections.
These settings also affect the manner in which you transfer data over the
Internet. As background, all of your traffic through CGAZ.COM is done with
TCP/IP or (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol or just IP, for
short). Any other protocol, most likely, is wasted effort.
Microsoft settings now begin by activating many possible protocols,
including ones that are not required for your CGAZ.COM session. This slows
everything down. Under Server Types:
1. The Dialup Server Type is PPP for 95, 98, NT etc. For your protocol settings:
1. Make sure that TCP/IP is the only protocol that should
be checked. No not check NetBEUI or IPX/SPX.
Finally, it is possible that you may need to set the TCP/IP
settings for this particular connection. Make sure the following are
checked:
At this point, remember to use the OK button to exit these
screens, otherwise, if you were to just "X out," you will not save any
changes.
Checking the Network Settings
Go to the Start Button that is usually located in the lower left
hand corner of your desktop screen. Select the Settings option and
then the Control Panel option. Next, the Control Panel has icons
for most of the major settings for the computer. Find the Network
icon and click it. This opens up the Network setting control panel.
In the configurations box, select TCP/IP -> Dialup Adapter
or, if this doesn't exist, select TCP/IP by clicking once with the left
mouse button. Next, below this white box and to the right is a
Properties button which you should click.
In the PROPERTIES window, you have several grey folder-like tabs. We
will confim the following key settings:
These settings should improve your connection speed and improve delays
in the transfer rate of your Internet activity.
