need help with cable connection

Recommended Posts

I have a comcast connection. It's supposed to be 6mbps and 384 kbps.

My last test results were 947 kbps and 116 kbps. My xbox live has been suffering bad too. My router is the d-link dgl 4300 which is supposed to be top of the line. I set up the xbox live rules on the router with a static ip on the xbox and i've tried it without the static address. When i played it a few days ago with just the modem it was running fine. i've downloaded cablenut and used the settings in for cable xp. I rebooted and nothing really improved. any ideas would be appreciated.

  The first thing I noticed is this:

Information: Other network traffic is congesting the link

Therefore, something is using bandwidth on your connection.

I am no guru as others here, but do this

START> RUN > CMD > NETSTAT

Look and see how many connections you have alive, and what they are , this may be a good starting point for you. I'm sure someone else will step in , in the mean time : )

i just ran some test with the comp hooked up directly to the modem.... i didn't have an option for 10mb half duplex so i set it to auto. at one point it was running fine but i didn't test it. websites now take a long time to load and i didn't mess with the settings and i had mcafee the whole time. These are the results with the comp plugged directly into the modem
