bold textHI ALL I have a 1mb dsl internet connection using a D-Link router: 1 ethernet cable from the router to my dads laptop, and another cable running to my personal PC using a ethernet to USB convertor. Anyway... For a 1mb line it only goes at 50kbs download speed on explorer and bittorrent downloads. (winXP) at the buttom of the screen (taskbar) its says the connection icon which says: Local area connection, Speed: 100.0mbps. However it doesnt perform at this. It downloads like a 576kbs line (I know because my brother has his own broadband) also, when I take the firewall off its makes another connection icon appear next to the other one saying: internet connection 576.0kbs. I know that if someone was using the other machine then it would split the connection, but it still splits it anyway. I typed my IP address in the internet explorer address bar to get the router settings but couldn't work out what I was looking at. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a way to get the full connection by configuring the router settings? Pleaze help me as iv been looking 4 months on this problem, Thx

THX GUYS!!

Hi all first.. here are the specs of my pc: Company: Tiny P4 1.6ghz 512 SDR RAM Geforce 4 MX440 64mb DDR 8x 52x CD-ROM Windows XP Pro 2 hard-drives 40gb and 60gb Anyway... I have had this pc for a while now and played many games that CAN run without being slow. For example: GTA viceCity runs at average performance, but i have a stuttery performance every time only through gameplay. Even Counter-Strike-Condition Zero doesn't run good, I get the frequent jumpy movement as I move through the level. I have tried many things such as up[censored] graphics drivers and directX. why is it running these games slow??? I know that it can play these games perfect. But even Counter=strike shouldn't be laggy as it only needs the following specs: 800mhz processor 256 RAM 32mb graphics card win98,2000,nt,xp Please help as I dont want to get another PC
