Changing the DefaultTTL


Warning: Always Backup your registry before makeing changes!

The Internet has grown to the point where routes including greater than 32 hops are rather common, everyone should open RegEdit to:

Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP

Create a string variable named "DefaultTTL" with a value of, say, 128.

Or download the Reghack here.

NOTE: After merging the Reghack you must reboot Windows
