Bad Connection Lately

As of late, my dad is messing with our connection and so that it can run on optimal performance, but so far he's obviously been doing something wrong because it's SO much slower now.

How slow? I might as well be using a dial-up modem, with a computer that has half a gig of RAM and riddled with Spyware. And considering that I'm using a 2 MB DSL Wireless with a 4 GB of RAM completely CLEAN computer, the comparison is pretty bad.

I can't even properly check my G-mail. It's a wonder how I got on here.

Until further notice, my visitation here will be limited.

Sorry, guys.

Maybe he should stop and have it tweaked by an expert. Just my limited knowledge opinion.

Anyone in your household downloading torrents? That can really slow it down unless you increase your global maximum number of connections. PM me and I can send you a patch that will do this. I open all my connections to 100 (default is 10) so I can take full advantage of my network. I don't do a lot of torrent downloading, but it increases my overall potential speed throughout my network if I do this. Please note that it is NOT advisable to patch the system file in Vista however because of Vista's automatic recognization of invalid system files.

No need, LBTlover. My Dad got it fixed. I'm back now.

That is good to hear. It is very tricky messing with settings I'm sure. You could make things better, or you could make things worst.
