Hi All...

I certainly hope that someone can help me discover why all of a sudden, my Upload/Download sppeds have plummeted dramatically over the last few days/week..????

1. I have a D-LINK DSL-604T Modem Router attached to a ADSL2+ connection with my ISP.

2. My Desktop runs Windows XP with SP2 & all the latest Updates from Microsoft

3. My wife has an IBM Thinkpad with Windows XP with SP2 & all the latest Updates from Microsoft

Both computer are connected to the D-LINK and both have Internet connection and appear to be working fine..

Only problem is that even if the Thinkpad is connected or not, the network speeds for my desktop remains the same (approx 6kbs)

So I am at a loss to understand what could be slowng me down..??

I have not installed anything out of the ordinary over this time frame and am currently scratching my head as to WHY this is happening

If someone could PLEASE give me some areas to check I would be most thankful.

The only thing that does come into my head is that recently I have been using a Torrent client (Azureus) to download files and I am wondering if this might have done something with the speed limits.???

Regards

Julius

Sorry Folks...

Forgot to mention that the upload/download speeds from the ThinkPad are perfect... no issues at all... it is just my desktop that is having the problem.???

Remove azerous. and check if it helps. Most p2p clients start automatically at boot and begin sharing anything that is in thier downloads directory (thats the spirit of p2p)

Yeah Thanks..

That was going to be one of my steps to take today once I get back from the office..

The funny thing was/is that I had suspended all downloads/uploads and nothing else was in the queue (or so I thought)...

Is it possible for p2p applications/clients to be able to change the default upload/download speeds.??

I will uninstall Azureus and see how things go..

Regards

HI...

I uninstalled Azureus and ANY other apps that I had previously installed over the past week...

Using Registry First Aid, I scanned the registry for these entries and removed ALL pointer to them as well.!!

I then rebooted... BUT Alas.. this did not help, I am in the same position as I was before.

I rang my ISP and we spent 1 hour on the phone going through some testing procedures Etc on my Network setting and my Modem/Router setting and I even reset the modem to factory 3 times..!!

Still no luck...

Unless I can resolve this shortly, but last, and most violent extreme is to to blow the system away and re-install from scratch.

So, if there any other suggestions, please bring them on now..!!

Regards

i would reinstall the NIC drivers on your desktop, update the firmware in your router, and re-run the network setup wizard. You'd be suprised what that can fix.

spyware?

OK.. The answer to Spyware... NO, None that I am aware of..

Secondly, I went through the process of re-installing NIC, Firmware Etc.. No Luck

I think I am now down to my last resort... REBUILD..!!

Thanks everyone for your help

Regards

is your network cable or card just crap?

get a new cable and NIC and see

Now why didn't I think of that..!!!!!

Will have to try it out over the week end though... Not going to get much of a chance in the next few nights..!!

Will let you know the outcome...
