my mum ran over my ethernet before with the vacuum cleaner and it went from 120kbps to like 35kbps when transferring files across the lan. i think she damaged it or something

a new cable (and if necesarry, NIC) are fairly cheap
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

We have a small dog who likes to chew thru cables...

I will investigate a replacement todsay and see if THAT makes a difference, otherwise I will pick up a new NIC on the weekend..!!

Always better (Easier) to repalce these small bits rather than go thru the heartache of rebuilding the machine..!!

Regards

And The Winner Is....

After another go with the ISP... This time they did more testing, it was discovered that the possibly one of the ADSL filters that I had on the line could be faulty and causing the problem.

Through the process of elimination, I was able to fine the faulty filter and replace it with a newer one.

WOO HOO..!! My system was back.

THEN... I discovered that if you have more than four(4) filters on the line, the speed degrades again... and of course the less you have the faster you go.!!

So I am now looking into the option of placing ONE(1) ADSL filter at the beginning of the line and hopefully that will doing the work of all the other filters and give me the faster bandwidth.!!

Regards
