Sometimes, when you try to connect to a website, the connection attempt "times out" due to the slowness of response, and you get a "Could not connect to ... "
If you frequently encounter this problem and wish to wait for the connection anyway, then here is the cure. It will apply to all sites, though you will still have the option of clicking the Stop button. THPC is too busy (!) to use this tweak, but testing confirms that it works.
1. First, backup the Registry.
2. Run RegEdit and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net
3. In the left pane, locate the 0000 Key (or 0001, 0002 or 0003) that represents your modem or NIC.
4. Under that Key, locate the Value name called "SLOWNET" (right pane).
5. Double click on SLOWNET and change "Value data = 01" (zero & one) to "00" (two zeros).
6. Close RegEdit and reboot.
