Hey I was reading one of the user comments over at [http://www.pcworld.com/product/userreviews/id,28473/userreviews.html](http://www.pcworld.com/product/userreviews/id,28473/userreviews.html)  
and it says

> Notice the Linux and Mac users don’t have a issue with dropped connections or slow performance. I found this odd too when I was working on my linux laptop. Than it hit me, good ol windoze isn’t reading the connection correctly. Go to your router, nab the Fragmentation Threshold, the listen interval, the RTS Threshold and the transmit rate settings. Match those settings in windows by right clicking on your connection icon in the system tray, clicking “status”, then “Properties”, then click on configure next to your nic card, select the advanced tab. Now match up the info. This should fix the issue, it has for me. Been running solid now with no drops!Good ol windoze! 🙂

I tried following his steps but at the advanced tab of the NIC configuration I don’t see the appropriate settings.

Is it just my card or did he miss something?
