| m0n0wall Network Speed Weirdness... I'm not entirely sure if this is related to my m0n0wall router, or if theres something else...
Lately, I've noticed a serious speed decrease with my Laptop, and my Moms computer (both of which are behind my m0n0wall router) My computer, is unaffected... So I've ruled out that it's not my Internet connection... I thought it might be my Network Switch, but transferring files from computer to computer is lightning fast.
Anyway, My laptop, and my moms computer, if I go to download a file for instance... (Any file on the net, from iTunes on Apples website, or MSN Messenger on Microsoft) always caps out at about 19 KB/sec - 24 KB/sec... No matter what site. I've checked the Traffic Graphs in my m0n0wall router, and its displaying varying results from 90 kbps to 250 kbps.
Heres the kicker, if I use my laptop and go to dslreports.com/stest/ and do a speed test... The traffic graph in m0n0wall jumps up to 2.5mbps and my laptops bandwidth monitor shows 300+ KB/sec.
I can't figure out whats up with this, I haven't changed any of the traffic shaper rules, and its just suddenly started doing this. Should I maybe backup my m0n0wall settings and try doing a Factory Defaults Restore to see if that fixes it? 
Its obviously not just a problem with one of the machines, because they are both doing the exact same thing... Any suggestions?
Thanks guys,
Zac

| Have you installed any software on your laptop and mom's computer? Updated anything?
The speed is there, but when you download a file, it isn't. I doubt m0n0wall is the blame for that.

| Nope, no new software... I haven't even used my laptop for about 3 weeks (last time I used it was the day we got home from Vacation, and it was working fine then...) But I did try restoring an older backup config file on m0n0wall last night, It improved the speed slightly (up to about 80 - 100 KB/s)
Then this morning I restored my original config (from just a couple weeks ago) and re-did the Traffic Shaper/Magic Shaper Wizard, and now things seem to be back to normal (300KB/sec+ Range)... So I'm not sure, maybe it corrupted itself slightly.
 Thanks though!
