4. switch to the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces and look for the folder where your ip-address is the value of the key DhcpIPAddress
5. switch to this folder and create a new key DWORD VALUE 32 BIT (Vista) or DWORD-Value (XP)
6. name the new key TcpAckFrequency
7. double click this entry and set it to the value 1
