Sorry for the delay on this topic.
 
There is a great article at http://www.techrepublic.com called TWEAK
Win2k Server registry to improve TCP/IP Performance. Use the search
command to find it. If you have any trouble, reply to this post and I'll
send you the exact URL. It is also useful for slow/low speed
connections. 
 
As an example: ping -f -l <MTUSIZE> <gateway> will tell you if you have
the optimum MTU size. Add or decrease the size by 10 until it tells you
you're fragmenting the packets. I started with 1576 and finally hit upon
1472 as optimum.
 
I used it and worked very well.
