whoops. my sig meaning my signature. the click me thingies right above the suepahfly.

there is some tuning tips in them. and as for the connection, post how fast your dsl should be. if you have the dsl independent of the aol account, i strongly recommend losing the aol. that's 25 bucks a month for nothing. iirc verizon dsl should be fine without the aol. and the router, is it connecting to the vaio via cable or wireless? putting a cable to the spot you usually use the laptop will help ensure constant speed.

oh p2p fix how do i know if i already have this or not or will it of been with my windows updates?

I am hooked on AOL i just recently went to aol explorer browser and AIM too which i think is better now than the old AOL sign on but still is missing a lot of features AOL has like if i want to sign on as another screen name how do i do that...god i get confused as never even knew i had internet explorer till 12 months ago as so used to logging on via AOL. sorry again Mel

The vaio is the main pc in the house the router is connected to that via earthanet i just use a laptop upstairs when im lazy.

Do any of my results mean anything to you that i posted that i can do something about

    cheers and i know im a pain in the a#$ Mel

I have verizon dsl with 2200 modem and belkin router also. I too was having wireless speeds until I applied one of VanBuren's new settings. (win xp 1492mtu dsl pppoe 3000+) Got my wireless speeds the same as my wired now. Settings are here.http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-10720.msg105413;topicseen#msg105413
