FastNet99 is a utility that helps speed up Web site access by extracting and storing DNS (domain naming system) entries. For example 212.158.116.50 is www.netmag.co.uk. To connect to the Web site the browser makes a query on the URL for the number that it actually needs to connect to the Web site. Once an URL is added to FastNet it looks up the DNS entry from a file on your computer rather than the Internet, thus speeding up your browser access time.
