The network cable I have connected to my computer at work is green like all the others in the office but my Connection is heaps slower than everyone else. We have 5 pcs running xp and 7 pcs running win 7, but mine is the only one that is slow.
 
It's probably a hardware related problem. The other (faster) computers may be ones that have faster CPUs. Also, the amount of RAM makes a difference. So will the video card. Some computers rely on on-board video (usually slow), whereas some may have an added video card (usually faster).

Do you have the specs for your computer and the spebs for the other computers?

Thank you so much, I was actually talking about a Scenario based on an assignment I'm doing, and you confirmed my thoughts exactly. I hope you don't mind,.
Much appreciated.
