Now, there are more and more friends who use broadband such as ADSL and LAN for high-speed Internet access. For example, the LAN-based broadband Internet access provided by the author's city is not limited (but the traffic is limited to KB) it's a pleasure to pay only 80 RMB per month. If you have upgraded to the Windows XP operating environment, you must consider the following broadband usage tips:

1. view the bandwidth connection status

Open the "Dial-Up Network" window under "Start/control panel", you can see that an available connection has been established under "LAN or high-speed Internet connection, the default name of this available connection is "Local Connection". For convenience, I have changed it to "Broadband connection ". Double-click the icon or execute the "status" command from the shortcut menu to view a window, from which you can see the status of the connection (connected or not), duration (connected time), speed, and many other useful parameters.

2. Disconnect bandwidth

I use LAN to access the Internet through broadband. I don't need to make a dial-up connection every time. It is very convenient to access the Internet after I start the system. But if some friends want to temporarily disconnect the broadband connection, but cannot find the "Disconnect" command from the shortcut menu, do they need to unplug the network cable?

Of course not required. You can right-click "Local Connection" and run the "Disable" command in the shortcut menu to disconnect the connection. If you want to connect again later, you only need to execute the "enable" command. However, after the experiment, I found that when the broadband connection is disabled, the connection will easily fail when it is enabled again. In this case, you can execute the "Repair" command.

3. Use the built-in Firewall

In the "properties" window, click the "advanced" tab and select the "Protect my computer and network by limiting or blocking access to this computer from the Internet" check box, you can get a free firewall protection. Why not?
