Im referring to all you pro's because I am just stumped :) Currently I subscribe to both Cable and more recently DSL. I use my connection primarily for online gaming. Now when I perform speed tests [various sites] with cable I am capping at approximately 2.5Mbps, where as with DSL I am getting 1.5 ...

McCoffee, well I'm home now and guess what? Everything is back to normal - absolutely on its own. Any ideas?

It has to be with the isp or something on route due to the 9th tenth hop if it was your first hop then it would be something on ur end.

Thanks again, I'll be calling them tonight when I Get home.

Thanks for responding McCoffee. Now I am not at home, however, I did perform a few Tracert's - they tend to be failing around the 9th/10th hop. In between, there is quite a delay to reach the hops. As for installing rams, no sir, no ram has been installed recently ...

What hops are you loosing the packets at?? take that test and let me know the resaults.

Also did you install any ram recently??

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

For the past 2 days, my connection has degrated miserably. Browsing, at times, comes to a complete halt. If not a halt, its very, very slow. While playing online games, I get a lot of packet loss.

Originally, when I installed XP Prof months ago, I had ...

I need help, please! I can't get anyone to connect to the ip assigned to me. I've gone through all the docs 'n stuff..but can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. All ports are opened...I've even gone into the telnet menu and done as Netgear has suggested, but I can't get ...

What are you advertised speeds?

Truthfully I don't know Rogers is my provider. Seem decent for normaly cable broadband services?

Can anyone tell me if my settings are good based on TCP/IP Analyzer. Thanks in advance - Download speeds are at the bottom.

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240

Why is it that the higher my resolution, the slower my mouse works? Anyway to work around it?

You should see a big difference with a 7200 rpm hard drive and, depending on what you are doing, a noticable difference with DDR RAM.

Plus, the Asus mobo will be much nicer than the Intel. You'll be able to attempt to overclock if you desire. ;)

I'm ...

I have the option of upgrading the following

intel d845wn, 256 133 sdram, 40gb 5400 rpm
to
asus p4s333, 256 ddr, 40gb 7200.

Would you upgrade to these specs for $100 more or no? Thanx in advance.

BTW, is it possible to get better performance through Display Properties/ Settings/ Advanced and using the ATI tabs?

Anyone know how to tweak this card to get best performance? Only app i've installed but have no idea on how to use is Radeonator - most recent one. Running XP pro, p4 1.6, 256 sdram.

What FTP program are you using?

Try using port 21 instead of passive.

I've used BulletProof, WSFtp and XP FTP. All have failed to work. Even if I disable passive, it will not connect. It fails to connect at another point - which I did not document. I've tried various ...

Ever since I exchanged my LinkSys for a Netgear, I've had no problems until now. I've tried various FTP clients, yet it's the same issue with all of them. When entering passive mode, it will not go any further. I can't connect to the site. Running WinXP Prof, Netgear rp114 router, cable service ...

Seems the Linksys BEFRS41 Router is a pretty popular model. Thats the one I'm running right now. But seems every second post involves one of these guys. I've got a bout one week before I can take mine back. What problems has anyone come across that they know was ...

Thank you VERY much, that did the trick!

Doesn't work, first thing I tried!

Thanks, yet again. I'll try that in the morning when I get home. Don't be surprised if I have more questions

If you name the workgroups differently, you will still be able to share amongst each group, but you may have to open the "entire network" icon to see the different workgroups.
I happened on this by chance when I forgot to name them the same.

Sorry typeVR6, I have no ...

I tried doing that already, yet I can still see both on either computer.

Running windows XP Prof on 2 computers that are network. As it was my first time setting up this network via a Netgear rp114 router - I have 2 networks showing now, one labelled Homenetwork and the other Workgroup. My question is, how do I get rid of one and just keep the other? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to go with the RT as well. I can always exchange it if I'm not satisfied. LinkSys has given nothing but problems. Should have gone through the discussions and reviews before jumping the gun and purchasing that crap. Thanks again.

Anyone have any experience with either of the 2 routers? If so, which is preferred? I'm having lots of problems with the Linksys and will be reverting to NetGear, just confused as to which I should purchase.

Thanks in Advance.

First off, thanks for the response. I appreciate the help.

I'm running XP Prof on both computers.

Hoping to get some answers from you very knowledgeable ppl! For the majority, I'm hoping this question is simple. Can I set up a network via the LinkSys BEFSR41 router? I know it's main purpose is to share the Cable [internet] connection, but is it possible to setup a network between the two ...

Sorry. What I'm trying to suggest is that when I attempt to download I experience lag and at most time the connection drops. I also experience great lag while I'm attempting to play UnrealTournament.

I relocated the modem in the room, changed rj45 cable going from the Modem to the Router, and new ...

Both Computers are facing bad lags, and ofcourse the connection drops are affecting both as well. Lag is really bad for UnrealTournament and while I'm downloading via browser or FTP Client. I've set DMZ to the internal IP address for my computer, basically gone through all the settings to improve my ...

I have the same problem. Only difference is that I experience the issue whether or not the other computer is used. It was perfectly fine when it was connected to the original computer. I've had the modem replaced, cables replaced, firmware is updated, gone through hours of support with ISP and ...
