Question About Lan

[imported_pichan916]

My LAN connection speed drop from 100mb to 10mb and i still haven't figure out why it happen. I have a built in LAN connection [motherboard elitegroup K7S5A] and i am on a network with my roommate.

anyone else experience this before? Please if you can give me some advice or clue on it.

The speed posted in the little icon in the styetm trey is not your connection speed, it is the max speed of your network card. for a lan connection you want to have that set at 10MB/s anyway. It is not a big deal but recommended, so whatever yo did you fixed it. To see your connection speed (approx) go

ok thanks.

Yea i know that it was my network connection speed not my dsl speed but i was just a little bother because of the changes. Does it really matter if it 100mb or 10mb?

Yes it does if you have a connection speed of more than 10 mbps. Otherwise it doesn't make any difference...
