slow internet under XP ?!

[Accord Man]

Hello all!

I just installed XP to run a few applications that require it.. When accessing the net I get transfer speeds of 80-90kb/s.. Which is slow as hell. Under Win2K i get around 600-800kb/s..

however, when transfering files within the LAN the speeds are normal, around 1mb/s.. the other computer is a P100...

system info : Win XP (no sp installed).

hmmmmmm. What DSL do you have, and do you have a certified driver for your NIC?:confused:

I'm on a cable connection, which is rated at around 5Mbits..
Certified driver? um, I have a driver the "works".. I could try different drivers though..

I would certainly recommend running those SPs man. They do help a lot.

As I recall XP did have a lot of networking bugs when it first hit.

never had a problem like that before with or without service packs. i think your gateway is the bottle neck there
