I have two computers at home and recently got a new one. I noticed that I can?t seem to maintain a high-speed connection. All three are on your typical Shaw cable package and the same 10/100 Ethernet network card and all in the same router (which, is supoosed to support 4 connections. My older system, a P-Pro 200mHz WinME, sucks it down like a vacuum. On average I can have stability around 80kb/s. The ?new? system, a P-3 450mHz WinXP, only takes a KB off every so often. It does transfer?but I?d say at about 1-2kb/s. I keep the ME machine turned completely off too ? no difference. I?ve uninstalled any firewall programs (from Add or Remove Programs), including Norton Antivirus 2005 & Zone Alarm. What?s wrong? Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
