Configuring NetTurbo's Options

Using NetTurbo is easy!  You simply select the network environment that you would like to optimize for, press Apply, and you're done!

Selecting your Network Environment

In order to properly select a configuration for your network parameters NetTurbo needs to know how you will be using the network.  If for example you are primarily concerned with connecting to your home LAN the choices NetTurbo needs to make are different than if you intend to surf the web with a modem!

Rest assured, however, that you are only selecting your primary use.  NetTurbo will almost certainly still benefit the rest of the scenarios as well.

Home or Small Office LAN
This selection is intended for small networks where all of the systems are on the same network segment.  This would typically apply to networks of 20 or fewer systems all in the same building.

Corporate LAN
For larger networks of 20-1000 (or more) systems spread across multiple network segments, and where routers are present.  Such networks are often (but not always) spread across multiple physical locations.  If your network is spread across multiple cities or large distances, you may wish to experiment with the "Internet Direct Connection" setup below.

Internet Dialup
For systems where the primary network task is to connect to the Internet or an Internet Service Provider (such as MSN or AOL) over a phone line or ISDN connection.
 
Internet Direct Connection
For systems permanently connected to the Internet by a cable modem, DSL, ADSL, or (fast) satellite link.
 
Restore Defaults
This selection will remove all optimizations that NetTurbo has applied, forcing the system back to factory defaults for your operating system.
