Need some help please

I just ran the download test and this was my ressult:

Your connection is:  1782  Kbps      (about 1.8 Mbps)

You downloaded at: 218 KB/s

Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 1907 Kbps :: 233 KB/s (7% overhead factored)

Bottom Line: You are running: 32 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 4.7 second(s)

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 56.79 % of your hosts average (cox.net)

I have Win XP home for an OS.  Any help on speeding this up would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Thanks for the reply and I will try that when I get home from work.  Another thing I noticed that maybe you can help me out on.  When I look at the connection in the control panel it says it is connected at 10mbps and no matter what I try I can't get it up to 100mbps.  I know I should be able to because a couple of people who live around me are connected at that speed and I have a linksys 10/100 ethernet card with the latest drivers.  Does anyone have any clue on how to get it to connect at 100mbps?  Thanks again for the help.

if you connect to a router, then you should have 100 Mbps full duplex, if you connect direct to modem, use 10 Mbps half duplex for cable

quote from http://dslnuts.com/tips_tricks.shtml

"Windows 2000 or XP: to change to half-duplex:

* Open Control Panel.

* Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.

* Identify the icon for your cable modem connection: usually Local Area Connection.

* Right-click that icon and select Properties.

* Under the ethernet adapter icon, click the button Configure.

* Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front:

* In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation, or 10BT, or 10BaseT.

* In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says half-duplex or semi-duplex, or ( at least does not say full-duplex [e.g. 10BaseT on its own is OK]. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with half-duplex, choose the 10. Do not choose 10Base5, 10Base2, or AUI.

* Click OK to exit the Adapter settings.

* Click OK to exit the Connection properties. "
