Mr. Robe-
You might try upgrading your ethernet NIC driver on both your built-in
NIC and your pcmcia NIC. If that doesn't' help, you can call the vendor
of your NIC, or the vendor of your OS (Windows? Call Microsoft tech
support)
Best of luck!

Hi,
I am going crazy with my win XP slow traffic problem. I have 2 computers
on a home network, both connected via a CompUSA router and a Vonage VOiP
router to a cbale modem. While the old w2k computer downloads nice at
about 2.5 mbit, the laptop reaches a max of 400 kbps ! I tried ANYTHING,
changed the packet size, window size, changed even the NIC to a pcmcia
card, still the same slow speed. I scanned 100 times with different
programs for trojans and spies, all is clean.
Using wspingpack pro, the laptop shows the EXACT SAME throughput to
various ip's than the other (fast) computer.Ame for ping times etc, all
the same, no losses, the same delay time etc. ! So it looks like this
happens only on http or ftp packets. I also experience simple "hangs"
when I open a web page. Sometimes I have to hit reload just for tha page
to show up.
Any way to use Ethereal to see where the problem is, any other
suggestions ?
Joe
