Compuworm, I followed those instructions and got the speed below, and I'm very happy with it. Many thanks again! By jove, I think we've got it! Voltageman, I think there's no more need for troubleshooting, but thanks for your message. :::..

I switched the NIC Card back from 10 to Automatic. I just did as you suggested and changed the Optimizer function from 4000 to 6000. Also, here are the test results you requested.

Compuworm: I can't believe it! I'm getting speeds of more than 6 M now! (See below.) That's the highest it's ever been!. Hopefully this isn't a fluke, but in any event I want to thank you SO MUCH for your expert advice! You've been terrific! I'm thrilled. :::..

You're right. Comcast advertises 4,000 to 8,000. My speeds aren't really fluctuating any more. They're pretty consistently low, like the last one I sent you and the test results below, per your request. I did run Spybot -- nothing. And I did call Comcast, before we started all this. They said the problem was on my end, probably my Norton Security Center, but I uninstalled that and still had the problem. I'm thinking that you're right -- there's littlemore to do other than to call Comcast. But I want you to know how much I appreciate your help. I've learned a lot from you in this troub

Hi, compuworm. Thanks for your message. You asked what ccs file I applied to the cablenut program. It was 4000/384. Regarding the speedguide program, I followed your instructions and got the following result, which is somewhat better: :::..

Thanks.

Compuworm: I did as you suggested and changed the setting to 10 base full duplex. Below is the result I got. Right before I made the change, I was getting 473 Kbps. What do you think? Thanks.

Yes, I've run anti-virus software - AVG & Norton -- as well as spyware -- Adaware and Spybot -- and I just ran xoftspy. Found a few files containing spyware, removed them, and the problem remains. I'm going to take your advice and call Comcast. You've both been of enormous help and I really appreciate it.

resopalrabotnick: Here are the data you requested on two incidents -- one slow and one faster. Thanks for any help you can provide. GENERAL DATA:: My OS is XP. I have Comcast. The advertised speed is 4

Thanks compuworm. I was able to do that with your help.

Thanks, resopalrabotnick. I followed your steps. The only one I couldn't complete was installing VanBuren cablenut settings version 7. When I unzip it, I don't know what to do with the files, because I don't see a file with the .exe extension. How do I install it? Thanks. And compuworm, your questions are not obvious, at least to me -- I haven't done any tweaking for my TCP/IP connections. How would I go about doing that? In further response, I'm not behind a router and am not sure what firmware is. Thank you both for your help. Can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

I have Comcast Cable Internet. One minuteI get speeds of around 2200 kbps. The next minute, I get 234 kbps (or less -- as low as 50), as you can see from the following: :::..
