This update fixes three problems:

1) Unnecessary packet re-transmissions (i.e send/upload) in extremely high-delay satellite links.

2) Makes it possible to enable large window support (Scaling) so that TCP Receive Window (RWIN) can be set higher than 65535.

3) Makes it possible to activate Time Stamping.

If you are not on a satellite link or not one of the rare users who need RWIN > 65535, then you probably don't need this, but it does not hurt to apply it.

Go here if you use Win95, and here if you use Win98/98se, for the update.
