| I'm a baaaaad man!
Damnit! I just bought a new PC and switched from Win98 to WinXP (home). My download speed went from 1.8-2Mb - to a lousy 640K! What gives? How can I be sure that my modem is still "uncapped" (like it was on my Win98 box)? I have Road Runner service. All I did was move the nic cable from my old box to my new one and connected. I didn't install the CD that came with my service (neither did the guy who installed my RoadRunner that I could see). I didn't play with any WIndows Netrowking settings like he did either; I figured I'd have to eventually, but I just plugged in the modem to see what would happen, and I got connected! Now my download speedd is for S__T! HELP!!!
Can anyone help this poor dope? |

Sounds like to need to tweak your new box. Head on over to Broadband Tweaks Forum and they'll fix you up. Click here.

If it ain't broken TWEAK IT!
I agree with the other 2 posters, your RWIN is probably not set correctly and the easiest way to "fix" that is run a tweak program. |

Thanx guys! Unfortunately, I had already tried the tweak test, and it came back with no recommendations ("Looking good!" was I think what it said). Any other suggestions? I really appreciate your responses.
I'll keep checking things out. I'm going to reconnect my Win98 to see if I can still get that good performance (just to onfirm that was indeed the switch to WinXP and not something to do with my service - like they "recapped" my modem)... |
