This is for broad band connections, though it might work for dial up.

* Make sure your logged on as actually “Administrator”.
* Start->Run->type gpedit.msc
* Expand the “Local Computer Policy” branch.
* Expand the “Administrative Templates” branch.
* Expand the “Network Branch”.
* Highlight the “QoS Packet Scheduler” in left window.
* In right window double-click the “Limit Reservable Bandwidth” setting.
* On setting tab check the “Enabled” item.
* Where it says “Bandwidth limit %” change it to read 0.

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot. This is more of a “counter what XP does” thing. In other words, programs can request up to 20% of the bandwidth be reserved for them, even with QoS disabled.
