Presumably, the "experience" of Windows XP is over. As the best replacement for Windows 9x/Me and Windows 2000, as the latest generation of operating systems, Windows XP has reached an unprecedented level of support for the network. Below, the author introduces several Windows XP network skills: 1. Wonderful use of network diagnostics in the Windows XP "Accessories /System Tools /System Information" under the "Tools" in the new tool has added a network diagnostic tool, you can choose This feature performs a variety of tests to collect different information. Network diagnostics can be used to check whether the current system has network connections and whether network-related programs and services are running. As shown in the figure, if we select the "Scan your system" item to perform network diagnosis on the current system, the scanning process does not take a long time, and then you can see Internet services, computer information, modems and network adapters. A lot of information, if you find any problems, the system will report to you faithfully (such as "failed", "not configured", etc.), click on the "+" in front of a project, you can see more details Information. If you want to configure the diagnostic items, you can click "Set Scan Options" to customize the settings. These are relatively simple, I will not say more. 2. Maximize bandwidth utilization. We can open the "Group Policy" window by typing the "gpedit.msc" command in the "Run" dialog box, and then find the "Network" project under "Administrative Templates". Here is a "QOS". "Packet scheduling" item, you can see a "restrict bandwidth reserved" item under the "Settings" column on the right side of the window. Double-click the item, you can see that the "bandwidth limit" default value is 20%. We only need to change it to "enabled" and change the "bandwidth limit" value to "0%" to maximize bandwidth utilization. 3. Internet connection sharing through ICS Now, you no longer need shared software such as Sysgate, Wingate to achieve Internet connection sharing. Because there is an "Internet Connection Sharing" program in Windows XP, we just follow the wizard's prompts to step by step, of course, this involves the knowledge of configuring network neighbors, you may need to supplement the class ^_^. 4. Simple fix IE title bar and homepage Recently, some of the more abominable websites will modify your IE title bar, home page, right-click menu, and some will pop up a dialog box popping up to visit a website at startup. People are troubled. Some articles describe how to modify the registry to solve, but modifying the registry is more dangerous. In fact, there is a very simple method here. Just open the "Group Policy" window and find the "User Configuration /Internet Explorer Maintenance" item, you can see a "Browser User Interface", double-click "Browse in the right window" The title of the item, then you only need to check the "custom title bar", and then modify the text in the text box below to the desired content. As for the homepage being maliciously locked, it can also be solved from the above figure. Expand "Internet Explorer Maintenance", you can find the following "URL", then double-click the "Important URL" item in the right window, and then operate again. simple. 5. Send E-mail anytime, anywhere Windows XP and Outlook Express are truly seamlessly integrated. As long as they are connected to the Internet, Windows XP will connect directly to the network from Windows Explorer without having to open the corresponding program beforehand. For example, we can find the "send this file by email" command in the "My Computer", "My Documents" and other windows, or execute the "Send /Mail Receiver" command in the right-click menu. Bring up Outlook Express, and the file you just selected is automatically added to the new message as an attachment. If you are sending an image file, Windows XP also allows you to make some adjustments to the image without opening other software, such as reducing the original photo, the size of the photo, etc., which speeds up the transfer and makes it easier to view.
