Very nice!! Welcome to the forum!! We are glad to have you... you can try and tweak your settings and get a little more out of what you currently have... What ISP are you on?

T1 is 1.5mbs (1500kbs) up and down... at the same time... you are faster in the download catigory but can you upload at 1500kbs?? didnt think so.. lol nice speed!

The first question is why are you running a hub?? They are slower than a switch because they are stupid... I was refering to the person that posted this thead.. but maybe you can answer the question.. the modem for Directway... does it have a cat5 connection?? if so why are you not running a router?? ME blows... That is what happens when Microsoft rushes a product into the market before it is tested...

download a linux distro... I think Farcry is a fairly big game.. you need so muscle to run it...

Right hardware firewalls=$$$$$

Call the isp and tell them the problem.. with the tracert you are armed and dangerous on the telephone...

The only firewall I have is the router and I dont think I can disable it.......can I? Embarassed ok you dont have a firewall on your router... it is NAT... basically what it does it prevent intrusions through ports that are close... but as soon as you open them or a program opens them... It isnt a good think... get a software firewall if you are that conserned...

try this... http://www.download.com/PRTG-Paessler-Router-Traffic-Grapher/3000-2648-10265827.html

There are program out there that are able to do that... i dont know if Windows has something like that built in.. http://www.download.com/3120-20-0-1-0.html?qt=Network&ca=20&excl=10306704&excl=10265827&excl=10307088&excl=10299999&excl=10306753 That has some free software for monitoring you lan and other stuff...

Ahhh yes the dual t1s so much bandwidth just waiting to be used... what does your company do??

Ok from what I have read i have a few questions... The Satelite computer is hooked up via usb from the modem... Then there are more computer hooked up via ethernet... Are you using internet Sharing from XP over that hub..? Where are you taking these test from? It would be helpful if we knew if it was a hub or a switch... big difference.. You replaced the Dish... It seems that you speed jumps could be related to the fact that you dish is out of alignment... or something is obstructing the dish itself... From what I have read the dish seems to have stable speed exept during time when there are solar flashes.. I personally belive that USB a waste of time... they have tried networking with it and it failed!

I had sp2 on my computer for like an hour and couldnt stand it... It is causing more problems then it is worth... try right clicking on an file out side of C: Every time I did it Explorer would crash...

I love it... foreign language then ok got to go see ya... that is awesome! is that a bit torrent client?

looks like a diganostics from some type of fiber router/modem... If it wasnt broken then why did the system admin mess with it? hmm...try unpluging the internet cable from it and then power cycle it.. What brands/model??

try not using the firewall... that some times will slow down the connection... do you have a router between you and the modem?

Damn... I am calling comcast today to see if that will match the speeds... LOL that is kick ass!!

singing or taking a crap...

I used one of these back in the 56k days... if i remember correctly the server has to have a resume function and be capable of serving mutiple connections to one computer at a time correct?

very nice!

Acivity light doesnt mean all that much.. if it stays solid while you are surfing the net that is a little weird but if it is working... dont worry... mine is always flashing because of my network... it has to do when packets are sent and received from servers or computers... BTW welcome!

it also depends on what type of network you are on... an old copper based or newer fiber...

we got it taken care of... now were are trouble shooting fps slow downs..

if they work leave me a pm... i would be interested... just remember that you have now voided all your warrenties on that new machine by using non-HP inks...

Those programs are connecting to a server... they are using ports 1032 and 5226... Altnet.com is some type of digtial media distributer...

New network=Fast speeds! Verizon and SBC are known for their slow speeds... they are running on the old telecom networks that are over 25 years old! and they are dsl... bad cable = slow speed...
