milchama Posted September 11, 2005 CID Share Posted September 11, 2005 Try installing the newest driver for your NIC Card besure to unistall your old one first after you download your new one of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milchama Posted September 11, 2005 CID Share Posted September 11, 2005 Also do you use a router that may be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze3e Posted September 11, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 11, 2005 yeah i use a router and how do i install the newest nic driver or whatever and uninstall the old one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milchama Posted September 14, 2005 CID Share Posted September 14, 2005 find out who manufactured ur NIC Card and what model it is. Then go to control panel - perfomance and maintenance - system - click the hardware tab - and click the device manager. click the + sign on the network adapters and then the driver tab then uninstall driver. Make sure you have already down loaded your new driver first cuz you will lose ur internet untill you install the new driver. Also check your cable connections on the router, and do a firmware update on the router also. you should see something about that on the router set up web page your owners manual will tell you how to do that. by the way kamikaze3e welcome to the forum.

tbaker397 Posted September 19, 2005 CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 its your NIC card, if you recieve that with wireless then there is something wrong with your NIC Card. Follow these steps on your wired computer.: Go to Start>Control Panel>Right Click on Local Area Connection>Properties On the properties menu you should see somehting that says something like Fast Ethernet Adapter or Ethernet Connector or something with a configure button beside it. Click the configure button. then go to Advaned on the menu that comes up and find Connection Type(maybe different on yours) but the drop down menu has options in it like 10Mbps(T) Half Duplex 100Mbps(Tx) Full Duplex wiht a few more. make sure that the setting in the box is 100Mbps(Tx) Full Duplex. Try that and see how it works for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted September 26, 2005 CID Share Posted September 26, 2005 or you dropped something heavy on the network cable, rolled over it with an office chair, the dog chewed it... anyhoe, could be just the cable not the nic card. or both.

netmasta Posted October 1, 2005 CID Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hmm well where do i get another NIC card? Best Buy, CompUSA, (insert name of computer/electronics store here). They'll have plenty of network cards. oh and also i recieve way more bytes or whatever than i send... is this part of the problem or is this normal? Well usually people download (recieve) more than they upload, so that looks normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deekortiz3 Posted October 2, 2005 CID Share Posted October 2, 2005 I had these same problems for the last 2 weeks and have finally resolved them. 1. Update Drivers for your NIC 2. Update Firmware for your router 3. Get a nice new Cat 6 cable 4. For duplex i recommend if possible to set it on auto instead of 100 full duplex. Auto is much faster for me when used. After doing all this my speed has also gone up from around 3780 kb/s to almost 4200 kb/s Do all those before replacing your card or router because doing all this first is much cheaper than either.
