| 650941 | 2008-03-19 10:19:00 | HI again. Yesterday, with the help of 2 of you, I successfully connected my wireless modem. All was fine but it was a bit (600 or so kbps) slow. I contacted Ihug who tested lines etc. and told me the problem was between the modem and the PC. (ethernet betw. PC + Modem). I have turned off my virus software and firewall, unplugged all the phones in the house, and swapped the ethernet cable, all to no avail. Ultimately i got fed up and decided Dick Smiths had sold me a crap modem, but even reconnecting my old Dlink made no difference. I have also cleared cache etc.. I have 2 gig of ram, a reasonable processor, vista, and while I don't know last weeks speed, it was certainly a hell of a lot better than this. Any ideas? |

If you are using the RS47 connection between the router and the computer, my guess is that you have a fax machine or something still hung across the circuit, perhaps a burglar alarm circuit. It is unlikely to be Dick Smith! |
