XP sp1 tcp/ip installed
I can access the net, vie websites and chat, but for some
reason if I try and download a file after 3 megs or so
the download just dies after a short while. I have a
shared cabel connection, the other computers on the lan
doanload like champs, but mine for some reason isn't.
I've tried reinstalling sp1 and ran some net command that
reset my winsock registry keys. I have no idea what is
going on. I really don't want to reinstall the OS
the problem occurs for multiple protocols (http, ftp,
irc) and even happens when I try to download files over
the lan itself.

any idea?
 
More information about your home network setup would be useful (e.g. My PC
is behind a linksys router ...etc).
 
ok, I've had the computer behind a smc router, a linksys
router, and used ics, it does the same thing for each
while every other computer on these networks worked fine.
