Hey, I have a question I hope someone could answer. Currently I have a computer that slows down on the internet (I was here a couple weeks ago and tried what you guys said but it didnt work, sorry for the delay was out of town) and well I brought it back to my friends house who HELPED me build it. We hooked it up just like at my house and the internet runs perfect. But when at my house it slows down after a bit..  I dont know what it can be. I just got a new router and ethernet. I have two computers hooked up to the router the one I am on now and mine. This one never has a problem but after awhile of being on the internet everything slows down and certain programs start to disconnect and reconnect. This only happens at my house. Any ideas?Have you CONTACTED your ISP? Maybe your connections speeds (which differ from ISP to ISP) are different... The connection speed that the ISP allows... Contact them...

[glb]Flame[/glb]The router and Modem (Assuming this is cable modem) may not be properly configured.Is this dial up?. How many phones have you got?......what are the o/s used on your pcs? firewall settings ok....are they.....I am on Roadrunner. at the moment, this problem occured soon as i got this comp on the internet. When i first got it i tried it out, took the ethernet out of this one plugged it in and it started right up. the very first day before i had a router it did this so im sure its not the router. I tried shutting down all my firewalls and it still slows down, and yet a game I like to play runs fine? Also tried scanning with several anti spyware and virus programs no luck. Its running windows xp professional. I have two phones at the moment.You are not using a proxy to surf the web, are you?TYPE this after the cmd prompt ping www.bbc.
co.uk........it should return packets send ..packets lost....

Is the networkset up properly......does the router have the correct DRIVERS? type netstat in the cmd propmt....what does it tell you?Im pretty sure I dont run it on proxy but im not sure what it is either =/

I OPEN the run command prompt put that in it says a lot of things fast then closes the thing that popped up. It doesent give me a chance to read it >.  )
