I am running Windows XP SP2 on my IBM A22p laptop over a
small (two computer) Ethernet LAN connected to a cable
modem (3 meg service.) I have noticed download speeds of
my laptop degrading significantly (<200k). The other
computer on the LAN downloads at great speeds (>2meg). I
connected my laptop directly to the cable modem (bypassing
my router) and seen no improvement. Three days ago I took
my laptop to my son's house, connected to his LAN (cable
modem at 3 meg) and the laptop downloaded at great speed
(> 2 meg.) What can be the problem with my system. It
works great on my son's network but not mine, while the
other computer on my network works great. I have tried two
different ethernet cables connected directly to my cable
modem. They make no difference (still slow download.)
Since my other computer on the LAN downloads rapidly, this
seems to prove my service provider is providing me with
appropriate speed. All download speeds have been checked
using dslreports.com tests, taken at various times during
the day/night. Thanks for the help.
