Hey guys, I'm very familiar with the forum and the stickies When I had XP I had DL speeds of up to 12mbs. Now with Vista I get a max of 2 or 3. Here's what I've done following the sticky outline: 1. Vista 2. Comcast 3. TCP Optimizer 4. :::..

Done 11. Looking for a firewall right now .. 12. Done with NOD32 13. - 15. Done I'm running the same programs that I did with XP. Anti-Virus: NOD32 Ad-Ware: Ad-Ware Pro Spybot S&D The only programs that I haven't installed yet were System Mech 7 and Comodo FW. Comodo FW isn't compatible yet so I'll have to look elsewhere.

Swimmer, I have a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 ghz Broadband Router.

With some details left behind, is there some kind of program that will block off wireless internet users on my command? For example, lets say I have two computers, 1 has a connection of Modem>Broadband Router>Computer, all connections through wires. 2nd computer is just connected to the internet through the router. Are there any programs, like a firewall, that I can disable the access of the internet for the 2nd computer? I tried searching but there was stuff about WPA and things like that which I did not quite understand. Thanks!

Thank you for your help VoltageMan! Everything worked! Much appreciation! As for browser .. It seems as if it's down to Firefox or Opera. HmmMMMMmm

Hey, my first questions is: I downloaded some registry tweaks that will up my speeds and everytime I double click it to change my registry, it opens up through word or notepad. What do I do to add it to my registry instead of opening it with notepad? 2nd questions: What browser should I use? IE7, Fox, or Opera? Thanks for the help fellas!

I like this forum and community. I have yet to explore it all, If there isn't anything that can get me distracted .. I might wither along .. lol But I like to visit and try to help other people

Yep, Hey I really appreciate your guys' dedication and focus just to help someone out .. A lot of props and appreciation

Turned off Word and I'm still getting same speed .. For the Start Up Programs .. Only my Antivirus and Ad-Watch

I use System Mechanic 6 Pro. It has a built in firewall-(Kapersky), defrag, registry fixer, and all that crap! It's really good! I also use Spy S&D, Ad-Ware Pro, O&O Defrag, CCleaner. I use to use all of the above but System Mechanic Pro and I used Sygate and NOD32 but I had trojans and keyloggers and crap ..I also sometimes used Tune Up Utilties. The only programs that I have running is Opera and Word. I'll give that modem thing a try and I have not scanned in safe mode ..

After deleting my cookies, offline files, defragged, anti-virus scans, and etcs .. Still 2.9 ish ..

After trying the ones you gave me, I still get a consistent speed of around 1.9-2.3... Hmm any other ideas?

That works! I'll give it a try and do a couple of DL tests .. Any one you can reccomend me?
