I just followed the links instructions and have already noticed a mild increase in speed (nothing like i used to get though). But i haven't even restarted my PC yet as im playing some poker! I still think i have an underlying problem though if anyone has any ideas!!??!

thanks for the reply, i will find out but i think my neighbours speed is steady, i dont think it is due to traffic as it is still slow at 2am sometimes. Alot of the time now (probly 20 hours per day) it is mega slow. I will look into the cable nut settings soon, when i have time, thanks again mate

Hi all, i have connected to my neighbours BThomehub (with his permission) using a wireless network adapter. I am running Vista Ultimate edition. When i first connected i was able to download things at approx 320KB/s but after a couple of days it is 11KB. I tried reinstalling Windows, i tried all the stickies here, i tried Cablenut. None made any difference at all. Like i said the speed is occasionally very close to advertised speeds, but sometimes way off. I have even tried 2 seperate wireless adapters (one is a USB the other is my prefered PCI card, which has a better connection to the flat next door (signal 3 or 4)) Is there something im missing, i only use Windows Firewall at the moment, which when disabled makes no difference! i use Spybot, i have a brand new clean install of Windows aswell. Are there any programs that can help me, i have a limited knowledge of this thing and cablenut was a little complex for me, but I could learn to use it if I knew that it would work. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks to all
