[Guide] Private Server Latency Fix [Vista]

[[Blaze]]

I take zero credit for this, I just want to help out all the people who have bad 3000MS latency on private servers!

 First of all I would like to thank Hopto for finding a fix to this problem that many people have been having. So all credits goto him for coming up with solution, Thank you .

Like Hopto found, it appears that Vista's Auto-Tuning is the cause of the problem.
So far a lot of people have found this solution to be an instant fix.

Edit:
Just a reminder, you should do this WoW closed

In order to fix the problem you must disabled the Auto-Tuning. Here are some instructions on how to do this.

Open your start menu 
Depending on settings you may have the "Start Search" function or you may not. 
-If you have the "Start Search" type in cmd.exe and when you find it right click the file and make sure you run as administrator
-If you are using a classic windows type visual theme then you can goto Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt
Then you simply right on the commnd propt and run as adminstrator
Now in order to disable the Auto-Tuning type 
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled"
without the quotes of course. You can type this in manually or copy it and then paste it by right clicking and then selecting paste.
Enjoy your normalized latency  (hopefully)
In order to reverse this you simply follow the aboved steps and instead type 
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal"

I found a website that provides more information that you may want to check out here

Anyways, thanks again to Hopto!

Sounds like this might, and might not work. According to this article it was a performance boost for vista.. And it says that disabling it only slows it down but it could make a difference. The best way is to just try it and see..lol

Anyway, great post and find..+Rep

I don't like people just giving me rep... I want to earn it. Plus it's not my post, I just copied pasted it for ease of access.
