63445 2002-07-19 01:28:00 I'm having problems with my connection speeds. I have a Dell 433, about 2 years old, with a US Robotics 56k modem installed. When I first started on the internet (Zfree) the highest connection speed I got was 37000bps. I didn't mind this as the ISP was free. However I now belong to paradise and connecting at a constant 33600bps. I've taken the cpu to another location and connected, but only rose to about 36000 bps. Are there some settings in control panel or somewhere to change the speed? The setting in properties is set at 115000 something. Any help appreciated.

Try deleting them but note them first as they might have to be added again if you have connection problems.

For Win 95 98 ME
Double-click on My Computer, then double-click on Dial-Up Networking.
Right-click on the connection icon and choose Properties.
Click the Configure button.
Change maximum speed to 57600
Click the Connection tab.
Click the Advanced button.

In "Extra settings," delete all
Click OK 3 times
Shut down the computer and turn it back
on to activate the changes.
