SP2 and internet speeds?

[Keikan]

I know my internet connection is normal because on my other computer I get normal speeds. I have cable internet no log on. I'm not downloading anything on the other computer.

I just installed Windows XP SP2 and normally I just have to use automatic settings to connect to the internet with my SP1 installation and I get normal speeds.

Now with SP2 I do the same thing to connect to the internet but my speeds are lowered. I turn off Windows firewall and it is still low.

The computer is connected simply to a network hub. no router. I am running avast antivirus and sygate personal firewall. Scanned the whole computer no virus no spyware.

I have no idea why the speeds are so low?

Use this to patch your tcpip.sys file: http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads

to how many half open connections did you set it? recheck it with the above file. installation of sp2 sets it to 10 . Set it to the maximum. Also install and run tcpoptimizer.
