So playing around with some registry and networking settings I was able to lower my latency by about one hundred and fifty by applying this registry tweak.

Go to Start -> Run, type in `regedit` and click OK.

On the left open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> Tcpip -> Parameters -> Interfaces -> (Choose your card here, it will be the only folder that contains the most data in it, that appears on the right). In here right click on the right and make a new `DWORD Value` when you can name it, type in (case is important) `TcpAckFrequency` and press enter, double click it to modify the value and change it to `1` and click OK.

You will need to restart your computer for this change to take effect. If you find that this did not help at all, or messes something else up, just delete the `TcpAckFrequency` DWORD item you added.

Along with this, you can also do another tweak which seemed to help a lot on my Windows machine for in-game latency.

Open Control Panel and then Network Connections. Right click on Local Area Connection (or your network adapter) and choose Properties. Near the top you should have a Configure button to the right of the name of your network adapter. Click Configure at the top you should have some tabs, click Advanced and on the left choose the option that is related to Checksum Offloading (you may not have this option, or it may be called something else like TCP/IP Offloading IPv4) and turn this Off. Save your settings and restart the machine.

Let me know if it helps you as well.

Small utility created in VB6 that will scan your local subnet when launched, and show a list of RDP (Remote Desktop) servers, or any server listening on port 3389. It will show the servers IP Address and the Hostname. You can then double click on a entry to connect to that server. This is more like a frontend to MSTSC.EXE but shows a list of available servers, instead of requiring you to know the IP or hostname.

I created this small utility to help myself and co-workers manage the Active Directory at work. This utility will scan your network for the domain your computer is a member of, and then will list all user accounts on the Global Catalog Server and will also list Locked Out Users and much more information after you click on a specific user. This utility can list hotfixes on your servers, upgrade your domain mode, and more. You can also unlock accounts, or set an account to force password change on next login. Source code is also available on the site. I created this in VB6, the code is probably messy, it is using native LDAP calls and some WMI. It may take some time to load the program, because of WMI. I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone, and it may crash at times. Use if you wish, I make no guarantees, but it works great for me, at home and at work on Active Directory networks.
