The lines come from the same phone jack, and with the filters plugged in the second line does not work. I've really got to get this fixed.

I'm helping somebody set up their first DSL connection, and all is OK, except there is a small problem. THe person has two phone lines, and when the DSL noise filters are installed, the second phone line dosn't work. Unless I can find a way to fix this, they can not keep DSL. Can anybody please help me?

Yea all the drivers are installed. How do you ping the router? I don't think that should matter, I still have the problem with the computer plugged directly into the cable modem. But it can't be the CAT cable because when I try it on my old computer I get 6.8+ mbps... Why are things always so complicated for me... If it helps any this is the motherboard I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138264 EDIT: I just saw a new review on newegg!! What the !@#$?? I like this board! I don't want to have to get a different one!!

Ok, I have tried the stuff there, and I now have used cablenut, it seems to have sped it up a little, but it's still under 2mb/s. Is it possible the NIC could be bad? I have the option to RMA the motherboard.

Ok, I think I forgot to mention, I tried using a direct connection to the cable modem (with the same cable), and I still got the really slow speed. Then I tried hooking up another computer to the same cable, and I got 6.8MB/s right away. Same thing using the router. So it's gotta be the PC. What can I do?

Please help me.

Hmm well I just tried the same cable on another computer (I put it in the same place), and I got 6.8MB/s. So it's not the cable. What the heck is wrong here?? EDIT: Ok I just did an upload test on the troubled PC, and the upload was fine. What the heck is going on here??

Ok I don't know what a traceroute is but here are the results: No I can't move the computer, it would be a pain in the @ss to do, but I can take an old computer and try it on the same cable. I'll do that now. I really hope the cable isn't bad, I had to drill 2 holes in the floor and string it through the basement, and I had to go through a thick sheet of fiberglass insulation that was in a dark, dusty crawl-space to get it through one of them.

I have comcast 6MB/s cable, and on my main PC I get about 7.3MB/s on the tests here, but I just built a new PC, and it has the same network controller as the other one, and I am using a router to connect them both. The router is in the same room as the main PC, so of course it only uses a 5foot cable to connect to the PC, but the one I just built, I needed a 50foot cable to connect it. This is the one I got: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812189037 For some reason, I am only getting on average about 600kbps on the speed tests here. Is that because the cable is to long? I have went and set the network adapter to run in 100 full duplex, that didn't seem to help. I really need to fix this, can somebody please help me?
