?? Why does one comp have more speed on Internte?
Hello all,
I have 4 desktops, and one wireless laptop on a Dlink DIR625 through a cable modem. Most of the time, things are so so. However, too much of the time the Vista desktop machine (others are XP) ias terminally slow when downloading anything. EXAMPLE: Two XPs may be accessing the 'net (the student wireless is probably P2P'ing) and are doing fine, but the Vista, well - click to go to Google and the green loading status bar drags along, Then wham, it pops open. It's as if it makes the call - gets in line, waits it turn and gets access. The same for every page load. The Vista machine is not slow, just the Internet. I can send a XP nachine to download a file from say downloads.com, and the Vista, at the same time, and the P gets it faster. Is there a tool that let's the Vista Admin monitor and set transfer rates for comps on the LAN? So the Admin can say OK kids, if your not download hoemwork, your down speeds will be 25Kbs or so? I

Open a command line on the Vista box and type the command "ping
www.google.com -t" without the quotes, and press enter. Let it run for five minutes or so, and press Ctrl + C. Tell us how many lost packets you have, and the average latency. Do the same on the XP box. "IkoIko" wrote: Hello all, I have 4 desktops, and one wireless laptop on a Dlink DIR625 through a cable modem. Most of the time, things are so so.
