If you're on the standard 6Mb, I'd call that awesome. The highest I can get is 6.3Mb.

1Mb over cap. That is good.

The Fox works fine for me too. It could have been a corrupted download or install.

Welcome to the site gsxrjunkie. So you're on the 6Mb plan, right?

It's usually http://192.168.100.1

I use the free version of Photobucket. Q: How much disk space and bandwidth do I get? A: Currently, Free accounts get 25 MB of space and 1,500 MB of bandwidth per month. Premium accounts have bandwidth restrictions lifted and have up to 1 GB of disk space.

I've used Paypal and Ebay for almost five years now. Ebay now owns Paypal. I have never had any problems with it. Maybe it's because I don't use it too much, but Paypal has never failed me. Besides, there aren't many other choices.

Nice. And I have to say it: Take that IE! FF rules! HAHA!

Yahoo Users Get Phished Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service Mon Sep 26, 6:00 PM ET A new phishing method is targeting Yahoo users by recording their user name and password while logging them into a legitimate area of the portal, according to Websense, a Web security software firm. ADVERTISEMENT Adblock Users receive an instant message or e-mail purporting to be from a friend wanting to show photos from a vacation or birthday party. The message has a link to the phishing site, which records the user's ID and password while forwarding the user to the real Yahoo Photos site. "It would be difficult for the user to know they'd actually been phished," says Ross Paul, Websense product manager for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. New Tricks It appears the phishers are close to home: The actual phishing site is hosted in free Web space provided by the Yahoo Geocities service in the United States, Websense says. Not only are the phishers using a fake logo to trick users, but they are also forwarding the person to another site, a method that has been used before but not on such a large scale, Paul says. Websense's worldwide network, which monitors Internet traffic, detected the technique. "That leads us to believe [the phishing attack] is fairly widespread," Paul says, adding, however, "It's difficult to quantify." Protect Yourself The advice for users is similar to that issued in prior warnings: Be leery of unexpected e-mails and check with the sender to make sure an e-mail is authentic. Users can also always check with Yahoo to see if a specific e-mail is legitimate, Paul says. "I think what you are seeing is criminals are getting more sophisticated in social engineering," Paul says. In an e-mail response to a query about the warning, Yahoo spokesman David Sawday wrote: "When we learn about phishing sites on our network, we remove them as quickly as possible." He did not provide information on how Yahoo was dealing with the new phishing method.

Try testing without the router and see what your speeds are. You may need a router firmware upgrade.

The first two hops shouldn't be timing out. Are you using a router?

Sounds like an attack of some sort. Have you check your router's logs?

500 kB/s is 4096 Kbps Or 4.1 Mbps ::: 0.49 MB/sec unless you mean 500 Kbps is 61.04 kB/s Or 0.5 Mbps ::: 0.06 MB/sec

Run the attached file posted here and post the results. It automatically pings and tracert's Testmy.net. Just copy and paste the results.

Welcome to the site redwreck. Did you read the top 2 posts on this board ("tips" and "Make it faster" yet?

Print screen aka 'PrntScrn' is to the right of the F12 key right above the 'insert' key. It could be in a totally differend place if you're on a laptop.

Firefox blocks ads. Just use Adblock. I can post an example.

Make sure that window is active (in front) then press Alt + Printscreen. Then open Paint, press Ctrl + V and Save As... a .jpg. Note: Alt+ PrntScrn takes a screen shot of just the current window. To get the whole screen just press PrntScrn.

Do you have a firewall running, or are you using a router? If so, try without those. Also, some ISP's block ping and tracert.

You spend half your time at Windows Update? How long are you usally online, per day? I could say the same exact thing about IE. It doesn't block pop-up's or protect my privacy like it's supposed to do, so why use it?

That's a good question. They probably use them in a similer way to those "skimmers"( fake card readers fraudsters put on ATM's). I don't know what info is on an ATM/credit card, but it's probably pretty easy to look up and see which bank owns a certain set of numbers. Now I'm gonna have to go and look up some more info. I'm very curious now.

Exactly. That's what I meant in my last post.

The picture scrolling is only one of two "flaws"in FF. That and Windows Update. Otherwise the Fox rules

I think it's some kind of ActiveX exploit where they "hide" the real address of the site with a fake one, the one that you're supposed to be at.
