windows xp - sp2

im sharing my connection to another computer with a linksys router... but no wireless cards .... (its wired from on to the other basement)

shutdown all firewalls
20kB/s download speed

Do you have the ports forwarded in your router? What speed are you uploading at? (some trackers will only give you 2x, 3x, or 4x your upload speed)

[krome]

don't know the answer to the 1st question
download rate 18% this didn't use to happen before :(
20 upload rate
4 max d/l


help me get back my old speed.... i also patched SP2 (incase u ask)

[Z-95]

Most routers have a NAT hardware firewall that you have to forward ports in to get good speeds. Look at your router's manual or website for instructions. Also, read this (http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/25.html) for info on the ports BT uses and for other info about it working on routers.

Your problem - SP2.

Dont get it. It limits file sharing dramatically.

I removed SP2 hated it anyways... hope this brings back my speed.... I also setup portfowarding from the things a read incase..... but i doubt i need it cause like i said this worked be-4 into that SP2 prob. the one that messed it up....

Check and see if your IP is static or not.

where and how can i check that?

[angel_of_death57]

Why everyone having a go at Sp2 it made things better for me.

[ricochet]

If you have installed SP2, Check in Control Pannel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System.
Chances are you'll see alot of type 4226 tcpip type warnings. Check for properties and it graciously says;
TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.
