Ok there are two problems here. First until iperf 1.6.4 win32 TOS
setting was disabled, get 1.6.4 from the website http://dast.nlanr.net/
and the second problem is that Microsoft has dictated that setting the TOS
bits is obsolete. There is a workaround for windows 2000 that is described
here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q248611
however there is no equivalent KB article about Windows XP so it may or
may not work.
