If you have problems connecting:
Click the Settings button and see next item:

Enable LCP extensions. LCP (Link Control Protocol). extensions provide a way of establishing, configuring, maintaining, & terminating a PPP connection. You should leave this setting Ticked unless you experiencing problems connecting to Quadnet as a result of its enabling.

Enable software compression. Tick this setting to enable software (CPU) data compression for your connection. This will provide faster uploads/downloads depending on the data which is getting compressed. Should you have a Modem which can performance compression in hardware then I’d recommend you leave this setting Unticked & allow the Modem to perform any data compression – this should improve system performance slightly as the CPU will not be required to perform a task which can be done on separate, dedicated, hardware. Those with Winmodems should Tick this for optimal upload/download speeds, albeit it at the cost of some CPU cycles.

Negotiate multi-link for single link connections. You can leave this setting Tick unless you experience problems connecting to Quadnet (Error code 733 according to Microsoft), in which case Untick this.



You can have others connect through your dialup connection with ICS.
The bandwidth will be limited and you may experience very slow page downloads accessing the internet with more than one computer.
Please call Quadnet (800.320.2422) about a Bandwidth Solution that is right for you.
