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)

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)

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 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....

::crosses finger::

still remains yellow, o-well what can i do....... live up 2 it....... :01:

does this helps also if my computer is connected to another computer that has the router.... im not connected wireless its just a streight line into the other...???????

I have the same problem, tried all the above suggestions, port forwarding etc.. ended up disconnecting the CAT5 cable to the other PC and that sorted it...bit drastic.. but it worked :o

not working... but im reading up on the site here... that might help me out....

where and how can i check that?

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

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.

Check this out
