In short, it's an extension to TCP (the Transmission Control Protocol) 
to enable efficient use of a high bandwidth. It's fully backward 
compatible as long as all devices follow the TCP standard, but some 
firewalls violate the standard and mess up extension fields that they 
don't understand. Google can tell you more.

That depends on the operating system. On Linux 2.6 I do:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling

You seem to be running some form of Windows. I don't even know whether 
Windows can use window scaling, much less how to tweak it.
