Hi,
I've notived the internet connection is running sluggish on my daughter's PC.
If I run speedtest.net on hers I get 1200 down and 450 up.
On the other three computers on the network I get 6000 down and 800 up.
I have disconnected the ethernet patch cable at her computer and connected it to my laptop and I get 6000 down and 800 up.
So this rules out all the cabling and routing and isolates the problem to her computer.
I've updated the LAN NIC drivers with no effect.
I've run TCPOptimizer and following it's advice cahnged the MTU to 1464. Again no real effect.
Before I start changing NIC cards are there any simple things I could check.
I running adaware as we speak.
Computer is reasonably capable with a fairly fresh install of XP SP2.
Cheers,
Nigel
