Here’s the text guide in the "read more" section since the video was rather brief.
Household Hacker - How to Hack your Ping : The Text Guide Adventure! STEPS:
1) Hit windows key + r and then type regedit in Windows ‘Run’
2) Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ and then select the folder under Interfaces with your IP address or router information on it.(It should be the folder with the most entries in it)
3) Right click in right hand panel and click add new DWORD value named “TcpAckFrequency” in the folder from step 2,right click the entry then click modify and assign a value of 1 hex. Do this again with DWORD entry “”TCPNoDelay” with a value of 1 hex in the same folder.
4) XP USERS: Start > Settings > Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components on the left bar, scroll down and check the entry Message Queuing and click next. VISTA USERS: go to Control panel, uninstall a program, then turn windows features on or off. Check MSMQ Server and its subordinates.
5) Restart your computer.
6) Windows key + r, regedit
7)Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters and right click on righthand panel and add new DWORD value TCPNoDelay, right click entry and assign a modifier of 1. Close registry, restart your computer!
If for some reason you want to change your system back to normal, modify all those earlier registries’ hexidecimal to 2, which turns them off. If this didn’t work for you then recheck that you did everything exactly correct. Enjoy!
UPDATE 4-24-08:
For those of you who thought the video was a little too fast, you are creating THREE registery entries with regedit. To create on right click on the right panel and select CREATE DWORD, with the name. Then assign a hex value of 1 for each. To turn this lag mod off, assign a hex value of 2.
For those of you who don't have Queuing Service in your control panel (XP Home users), check Google for your answer. One helpful link I found is here. Good luck!
