C
Charlie''s Word VBA questions
I am trying to follow up on my post of November 20. I received two replies
that were quite helpful but my problem is still not resolved.
I have Windows XP, Home Edition, on a Dell 4700 with an Intel PRO/100 VE
NIC. My ISP supplied a Westell modem connected by ethernet. I am on a 756k
DSL. I have sent an email attachment of about 6.5 mb that takes nearly 30
minutes. When I look at networking under Task Manager, the Network
Utilization averages about 0.03%. As suggested, I have diasbled QoS Packet
Handler in Network Connections, and the Network Utilization goes up to about
0.50% (over 10 times faster) and the file is sent in under four minutes.
I have uninstalled QoS Packet Handler in Network Connection properties. I
have also disabled QoS RSVP in services.msc.
Jack (MVP Networking) suggested DrTCP201 that I downloaded from ezlan. In
the Adapter Settings, it lists four adapters including the Westell modem USB
and USB 2 (it is cabled by ethernet) and the Intel nic. When line speed is
slow, I have also selected the Intel nic in DrTCP adapter settings with no
other changes and saved it but did not reboot. Again the speed increases to
about 0.50 utilization. I have hesitated to change the other values since I
don’t understand what these settings might do, what the Intel “defaults†are
or if they are actually restored.
However, the problem returns, seemingly on a random basis, sometimes after
booting up. However, I have seen the faster speeds immediately after booting
up. I have sent emails with the same attachment (about 1Mb) and seen Network
Utilization of 0.03% and 0.50%. But, I don’t know which speed will be used
unless I send a “test†email to myself. If it is slow, I can again disable
Qos RSVP in services or select the Intel nic in DrTCP.
Thank you for any suggestions to resolve this.
