slow internet

[ansmwke]

i have cable internet access, and when im connected either wirelessly or thru a cable, the internet goes pretty slow. downloading from the internet is around 5kb/s. is there a way i can check my computer to see if it has a bug or something to make it go faster? i have a fairly new laptop, compaq presario 2100. so i know its not running slow b/c the laptop is old.

thanks!

i tried the tweak, and the connection says its connected at 100mbps, but if i download something and try going on the internet, the webpages load very slow. is there anyway else i can make my laptop run at the speed it should?

Try the top left hand corner of this page and download Spybot and Adaware and run them,

Also look at the link lights on your router. See if you have more lites than machines running. You could have a pirate stealing bandwith from your system--a gamer could bring your system to a crawl!

empty your temp internet files.

in IE - Tools - Net Options - Del files

i ran spybot and adaware, and the wireless is protected with a password so that wouldnt be a problem

Your log file looks harmless to me, some of the other mods might catch something that I have missed.

I noticed that you are using Bittorrent. You might not have your router configured right for port forwarding to communicate with them. Click on the link below



Make sure you have the right ports forwarded, otherwise you will be stuck at 5k on downloads with them.
