Speed Up ISP Logon Time (Windows 9x)
Chose the 'Server Types' tab, and then under Advanced Options uncheck the 'Log on to network' box, and make sure that 'Enabled Software Compression' is checked. From under Allowed Network Protocols uncheck 'NetBEUI' and 'IPX/SPX Compatible'.
Next time you connect to your ISP, the connection should be a little faster.
