Re: Disable QOS driver on Win 2008 (Apache Users)

In seriousness, after a brief google search it seems that QoS is something that windows networks use to prioritize packet delivery, I can see why this might have deleterious effects on a web-server. I found these instructions for disabling it:

Hi,

Very new to Apache, just starting to look at it today actually.
Have downloaded 2.2.14 and installed to a freshly installed Windows 2008 Standard server.
All OK thus far. "It works" message came up.

I noted in the documentation the suggestion to disable the QOS network driver but am unsure where to do this.
I have googled it and seen various suggestions about Group Policy settings or disabling the QOS service, but I don't seem to have a service with any name relating to QOS.

Is it just a case of unchecking the QOS Packet Scheduler item in the LAN connection properties dialog.

Thanks

Bill
