:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :lol: oh that was funny. I applied the changes with cablenut and believe it or not...lol...it got worse. I am now going at 1 1/2 stars now. What next?

I don't know what cablenut is, I will try to google it and download the program. Will let you know how it works out

No viruses, bots, ect Did both safemode and regular mode scans with AVG, Spybot S+D, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Adaware, CounterSpy, Spyware Doctor, SpySweeper, X-Cleaner, and CWShredder. All Turned up negative. I also did several online virus scans from Panda, TrandMicro, and WindowsSecurity.com Also all negative. My PC is clean guys, I dunno whats making it so slow. I have a Lynksys Cable Modem and Lynksys Wireless Router. My PC is landlined. The wireless is for the sisters laptop. They just installed the cable 2 weeks ago so I know the wiring isn't bad so what next?

i was told there were ways to make it better. Even dial up was having trouble from SP2. Something about the max number of connections. Isn't there anything you can do?

I have a dial up connection from a local company that has seemed quite slow. it is a 56K service and I have a brand new 56K Zoom Modem. I am running winXP, SP2, Zone Alarm Free (it was just as slow before i got ZA), AVG Free, all the recommended spyware utilities, and have a couple registry cleaners i like. All the protocols I have running are what I need and the boxes under LAN settings are always unchecked. So could you please tell me, o great gurus of TCP tweaking, what am I to do? Also, here are the download test results given to me. I tried the upload test....i guess my connection didn't like it because it times out. LOL.....I really need your help because I love online gaming like UT2004 and Quake III
