- In the Start menu, in the run/search, type "regedit" and Enter (note: if you don't have admin rights, this will be futile)
- Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
- click on each GUID listed under there and look on the right for your IP address; select the one that has your info (in most cases, you'll only have two, one being very blank, the other having info like your IP address)
- right-click on the whitespace on the right and hover over "New" and select "DWORD", then type "TcpAckFrequency" and Enter
- double-click on that new DWORD and select the Decimal radio button and type "1" for the value
- (Again) right-click in the whitespace, New, DWORD, and type "TCPNoDelay" and Enter
- double-click on that new DWORD and select the Decimal radio button and type "1" for the value
- Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ
- right-click on MSMQ, hover over New, and select "Key", then type "Parameters" and Enter
- Parameters should be selected, then right click on the whitespace on the right, hover over New and select DWORD, and type "TCPNoDelay" and Enter
- double-click on that new DWORD and select the Decimal radio button and type "1" for the value
