Solve : Internet slow all of a sudden?

Answer»

i Have a dell dimension 2400 with Xp sp3 and my internet got really slow. At my house it used to be ~900 kB/s, but i moved into a college dorm and now my internet is ~35 kB/s. I have a laptop (with Xp sp3) and when i test it it is ~1000 kB/s. this is using the same cable same, same jack, everything. My other friends laptop is just as fast as my laptop.first you delete all temp files. Quote

Are you sure it's not because you're in the Dorm Room?

i wouldn't have been frustrated except that my laptop and my friends laptop are both faster which is why i am confusedWait, what exactly is your question?

You said your internet went from 900kb/s to 35kb/s and then you said your laptop was was the same speed as everyone else's? Right?on the same connection my desktop computer is really slow and my laptop is really fast.  i was wondering why my desktop is slow.Ok, so Laptops hooked up to the router work very fast.

Is the laptop connected to this ethernet port?
If not, plug it in and see if there is a speed impact. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on September 03, 2008, 02:47:40 AM

the laptop plugged into the ethernet port is fast, and my desktop is just as slow as ever

is there any new or unidentified executables open in taskmanger ?? press ctrl alt delete to view them.. or you can open a new instance of cmd.exe , type tasklist>>C:\list.txt and upload it here for us to see.. 

you might also go to run and type msconfig, take a look under the startup tab and see if theres any suspicious files set to run at startup, also take a look under the services tab.. CLICK "hide all microsoft services" , and review the left over services .. the manufacturer ect post any here that you find suspicious..

how old is your desktop? It may have a older Controller that your laptop, if not: try updating your drivers, removing cache files and remove any unwanted background files on your desktop, clear space of hard disk, optimize your registry or get a net controller/adapter.In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew


Restart computer.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run, type in:
cmd
Click OK.

At Command Prompt, type in:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
Hit Enter.
Type in:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Hit Enter.

Restart computer.
