    ironhorse - the NIC settings are only important if you have a network at home. If you have a single PC with an internet connection, the slowest NIC settings will still leave the card able to operate at least 10-20 times faster than the best your internet connection could manage.

    How do you connect to the internet? DSL/Cable/Dial-up? If broadband, directly from PC network card to modem?
