Slow connection after installing Win2k

Hello.. I've just installed win2k and my downloads now don't go faster than 12kb/s (my bandwidth is 256k).. they used to go at almost 25kb/s.. can someone help me?

 

Describe your connection (including modem model), if you are on a LAN or stand-alone, etc.

 

I've had similar prob's when I've reinstalled Win2K. Try

I'm using a 256k download/128k upload cable connection.. and i'm a stand-alone

 

And was the 2K install a fresh load or an upgrade of some sort? If so, from what?

 

I dont know my modem model.. it's written on it "SB4200 Surfboard ".. I've updated my windows from winME

 

If you have a Motorola SB4200 SURFboard Cable Modem, it can be run USB or ethernet (RJ-45 to network card).

If that is your device and if you by chance have it USB, I'd strongly suggest a change to a normal network card. W2K does support USB devices but doesn't always do well with networking thru USB.

If you have it connected to a NIC, there are some settings you can change that should give a speed increase.
