* To increase the autonegotiated TCP RWIN with RASPPPOE, use the Specify Link Speed option and specify a link speed of 101 Mbit/s or greater, e.g. enter 101000 ( kbit/s) as the link speed the protocol should report. Windows XP/.NET will then autonegotiate a TCP RWIN of approx. 64KB instead of the default 16KB, which is often too small for broadband connections.
