Thanks again for all of your help VanBuren... you've been ever so generous.

Where exactly do I go to check the setting on my NIC?

Yeah... using a Xircom ethernet 100 and modem 56. From the NIC, a cat5 cable connects to a Westrell 210(?) modem. No router.

Greetings all... I've been on DSL for about a year now and wish to increase it's performance. I've downloaded the CABLENUT tool and followed their instructions for using their DSL settings. It didn't seem to make much of a difference in my speeds (download 1273 Kbps) (upload 116 Kbps), but being a novus at this... I'm reluctant to making any manual changes by myself. Are there any ideas that somebody would be willing to share? Thanks in advance for your assistance and thoughts! IndyGo18
