Odd bandwidth problems.

[HollywoodBob]

I've been using MSN for about two weeks now and I've got an odd problem. When I'm having voice conversations and I start video my voice on the other end gets really garbled and starts breaking up, and my video is always really choppy like 1 frame every 2-3 seconds even with voice off. The really odd part is that if I am talking to someone and just start browsing the internet my voice will get garbled. And their voice and video coming through always are crystal clear. This would seem like a standard bandwidth problem, except that I'm on a cable connection with a big fat upload speed.

Any suggestions?

P.S. Anyone know why QoS packet scheduler has an affect on MSN?

QoS (Quality of Service Packet Scheduler) controls the rate of flow for various network services. It's not really useful unless you're using apps which are QoS-aware or running a server, so you can gain some extra bandwidth back by turning it off.

Simply go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Uncheck the QoS Packet Scheduler.

If you are using Windows XP Pro, you can modify or disable the QoS using tweaks found at TweakXP or Earthlink Support.
