From what I hear, Win2k/XP and Mac OS 9 do some really stupid stuff that makes the internet slower.

Apparently, following the instructions in it is supposed to speed up the internet, or something.

Well, it couldn't hurt to try, so give it a shot!

Here are the steps I took, since I don't have a Local Area connection.

Start\Settings\Control Panel\Network and Dialup Connections\My Dialup Connection properties\Networking\Properties (with TCP/IP selected)\Advanced\DNS\Uncheck "Register this connection's addresses in DNS". Click OK a few thousand times.

Win XP Pro here.......... already unchecked by default on a fresh install.

Thanks for the info though, I'll be changing a few Win 2000 machines in the office in the morning!
