I just built my wife a new computer with practically the same hardware I
have been using on mine (Gigabyte MB, AMD 2200, 1 GB RAM, eCS 1.1,
Mozilla that came with it). I could not get the on-board Realtek NIC to
work, so I used an older Linksys 100 MHz, full duplex, NIC with proper
driver. My older machine connects to comcast.net and uploads and
downloads quickly. Her machine takes a minute or two to connect and
downloads and up loads like a tired snail. We both connect to thee same
Linksys 4-port router connected to a cable box. Funny, if her machine is
struggling to download e-mail, and I ping www.comcast.net from a command
line on her machine, the download speeds up as long as I let ping run.
What do I need to adjust on her machine? Any ideas (to save a marriage)?
