Aqua-Soft ForumsWell for the past couple weeks I have been having some DSL issues. My download speed has gone from 85-90kbps to about 986bites... yes bites...per second. Connecting to websites is a challenge as well. I used to search the web very fast, now it may take 5 minutes to connect to a sight. Many times Firefox will notify me with a (network timeout) whatever that is. However there is one way that I can get a descent connection( about 1/3 as fast as a month ago). When I'm searching the web, if I open Network Connections ( on my windows xp servise pack 3), right click on my DSL Connection and click properties, Configure my Intel® PRO/1000 PL Network Conn, click the advanced tab, go to the Link speed and duplex property, and finally swith it from 100Mbps/Full duplex to 100Mbps/Half duplex (and visa versa (if I spelt that right)), this should increase the speed to about 1/3. I would like anyone to tell me if it truly is a DSL problem or a computer problem and possibly how to fix it.

. IF those above mentioned still not be useful for you then i suggest contact your ISP then reformat you PC. and try to put some Internet Security that is not a free version.
