The KDE 3.5 Control Center - Part 3 - Internet & Network
The KDE Control Center, as I'm sure you're aware of by now, is a versatile and robust control interface for the KDE Window Manager and provides a whole host of configurable options to the end user. While the KDE team did their best to make the interface as user friendly as possible, there are some things that you can do in the Control Center that are not for the beginning user. This next section is one of those. You should only enter this area and begin playing with it if you are comfortable with the root login and administering your own machine at a root level. If you are, continue reading for some very insightful information on improving the already wide range of administrative options you have on your machine.
The Connection Preferences subsection is a small area designed for tweaking your internet connection. Most specifically in the file transfer and connection areas. The first of the two sections is the "Timeout Values". Under normal circumstances these should be left at their default values. However, if you're having issues with services being slow to connect, adjustments can be made to prevent that from happening. But tweak with care because a wrong setting here can cause other issues elsewhere if you get something wrong.
