Any other suggestions for my problem I'm getting :::..

Firefox has a builtin accelerator I Think

Yup pretty much same either way

almost forgot to answer one of your questions there I am currently using Zonealarm pro trial version

I have used Cablenut and also tried the TCPoptimizer. also done most of the tweaks those that apply to my OS from the make it faster forum and such and yes those speeds seem to be pretty consistant. dunno what else to try

Yea just recycled it a few minutes ago

Nope no router

That would be a positive

I'm pretty serious with security on my system most of the programs mentioned I already have and have run, systems seems to be running pretty smooth and clean, I am using a Cable connection and I pay about $39.95 a month for it located in the US in the northeastern section of the state of Pennsylvania

I do not know off hand what is advertised for my connection but i believe this to be fairly close at least on the dl part should I try to get this connection any better or would it be best to just go with it?... New bit of information for this just looked it up, I use service electric company and they advertise this 7 megabits downstream and 400 Kbps upstream

sounds good to me

yea it shows an ip from port 67 to submask on port 68 udp and also showing a tcp from port 80 to port 1147 but not too concerned with that one as it's not as repetitive

I feel the need to clarify this I don't mean thumbs down for all tech there just that particular one cause he seemed to be avoiding the issues I presented to him like he was trying to watch a football game or something...

Ok I went to tech support with this issue and they told me absolutely nothing is wrong the firewall is doing it's job but it has not done this since I got it has only started recently. So... I am getting blocked hits on a udp protocol at about a hit per second which is filling the log pretty fast you can imagine from the same destination on port 67 to port 68 destination is the sub mask 255.etc. all of it incoming any clues on what this is and if they are correct that it's nothing to be bother about? Thnks

thank you i'll give that a try

could anyone help me determine the best settings for my connection? just tell me what info you need to determine this thanks

or perhaps a stick of TNT

thinking I might just have them wipe this one and start over

No friends that are close to me have xp

i got nothing can't even seem to find the log file if in fact there is one created

I didn't see a report of that at all

tells me chkdsk cannot be run in dos mode heh

doing it now

same results says something about correcting errors in volume bitmap when i run chkdsk by itself too then says windows found problems with your file system

it runs on reboot I even tried a full scan with /s and /f I believe it was and still it detects problems
