Desktop Very Slow On Internet
Jan 23, 2013
Running xp pro, IE 8,FF 18.1, Aol 9.6.All three browser are now running very slow.I have fios,had test done and is 18 or 19 meg down and about 4.5 meg up.I have run spywear (2 different one) nothing. Run N I Security.Problem started about 1-2 weeks ago with FF ,did not notice then if it started with others. I have two laptops (xp pro &MS 7) on network and they are OK.Just my desktop that is hard wired, is the only computer that goes very slow on the internet.It does not matter if the laptops are connected or not ,still a problem with the desktop.I have checked the router home page and only see my computers hooked up.What I mean by being slow ---web pages (tabs) take 2-5 minutes to load or longer.AOL has always been slow but FF was much better. now FF is really bad. IE is just a little better than aol. I did a total reset and then a uninstall and reinstall.Nothing,then noticed that the other browsers are slower to.

I've just had a custom computer built and I seem to have a problem with my wireless internet connection. I have a Realtek 8185 extensible 802.11b/g wireless adapter. My computer recognizes my house's network and is connected to the internet with a good connection, but when I open up my web browser it takes a very long time for the page to load and sometimes never does. The laptop I'm on right now is connected to the same internet and it is running just fine. I've uninstalled the device and rebooted to have the driver reinstalled but the problem still occurs.

I just recently got back from a 2 day vacation to find that my internet on my desktop is almost unusable. I can get onto some websites and load videos, but it takes hours. I use Skype quite a bit, and I play online games. It is literally impossible to do either without my internet disconnecting.I use a 2wire Router i3812V with AT&T U-Verse. Here are my specs:[CODE]

A couple of days ago I bought a new desktop PC (Here is the link if anybody wants info on the PC [URL] but anyway, I'll get to my problem. My wireless router is downstairs in the living room and my desktop PC is upstairs in the bedroom. Theoretically, My PC's wireless card should be able to reach the router perfectly, being as I have several other PC's in the house that I use from my bedroom and the connection is 'Very Good' to 'Excellent'. Although with this new computer the connection's strength is very weak and it's so slow using the internet or trying to download things. It's internet is almost unusable. I've tried swapping the wireless card, but to avail. The connection is still awful.
Or of a way to boost the signal of my wireless card?

Currently, my work computer has (obviously) a local desktop. Also, we use a Remote Desktop for our shared network drive (our head office is on the other side of the country). The annoying thing is that if I am looking up a document on the share drive (Remote Desktop) and I want to work on it, the Remote Desktop applications are slow. So I'd rather work on it on my local desktop. However, I have to email it to myself, exit the Remote Desktop, retrieve it from my mail (in local desktop) and then save it

I have a question on a VPN connection. I have a remote access VPN setup on an ASA 5505 to be able to remote into a location and check the HVAC program running on a PC. The remote connection connects fine, but when I use remote desktop to connect to the PC, it connects quick, but the screen redraw and reaction time is extremely slow. EG: I click on the program and it takes about 20 seconds to draw the screen, or I click on a menu bar and get the same times for reactions. Could this be a ISP Up/Download issue or is there something that I need to look at on the ASA to change?
If I connect to the remote and do a PING from my desktop to the remote Desktop, these are the results that I get:

I just set up my new e1200 wireless router. The wireless connection works great but on my desktop (which is plugged in through the ethernet), has a painfully slow connection. Half the time it times out while loading a website!

I ran network diagnostics and in the Win sock catalog, I found 5 errors: TCP/IP and UDP/IP could not perform simple loop back communication, UDP service provider, and TCP service provider could not perform simple loop back communication, and A connectivity problem exists with an installed LSP.The network adapter says it is connected.

I've got a desktop computer using Windows 7 that wont connect to the internet but my laptop works.
I've tried resetting the router like umpteen times and the desktop reads the local network but wont connect.Changed ethernet cable twice. I do get the light at the connection so I assume thats fine.

I recently build a custom desktop and it wont connect to the internet. Ive had it directly wired to the modem and it recognizes the network but says there is no internet access. It also says the ipv4 and ipv6 is not connected. The problem isnt the modem because when i wire it to my laptop my laptop automatically connects to the internet from it.this is my motherboard and i downloaded all the drives that came with the CD. I will in the future connect my desktop with powerline networking but my router just broke so i wont be able to do that now.

I'm troubleshooting a desktop that will not connect to the internet, I've tried just about everything and still no luck. It is now connected directly to the modem and when I click on the red X between the network and the internet icons in network and sharing center to diagnose it says "Local Area Connection" doesn't have a valid ip configuration. But when I connect the same ethernet cable to my laptop I'm connected instantly. I've uninstalled/installed the network adapter, I tried cmds in the cmd prompt, I even did a system restore and still.........NOTHING!

I have time warner cable as my ISP, and have a netgear wireless modem hooked up to the only computer in house, in my living room, but I would like to have internet access in my room as well (where my rig will be). What do I need to get? I was thinking of getting a wireless network adapter PCI card, but am a bit concerned that I will then have to deal with laggy connections while online gaming.

I have a Vostro 460 desktop, recently bought, and then realized it would be better to add wireless router. Bought router and a PCIe wireless mini card that was suggested for my PC on Dell order site. The card arrived and am trying to install. The end plate with the aerial socket is not compatible with the removable access blanks in rear of case. Have I been sent an incorrect or unsuitable card, or is there some trick or adapting needed to install this card?

So, my desktop, running windows 7, can no longer connect to the internet. It has no problem connecting to the router, but it will not receive packets. I double checked my connection using my laptop and it works with wireless and wired connections, so I know it's something with my desktop. I would really like to avoid doing a reinstall, I don't have anywhere to back my data up to.

My desktop doesnt connect to internet, but my internet works fine wid wi-fi systems like mobiles and tabs. IE/Chrome/Firefox all have the same prob. But when I remove the ethernet connection, shut down and then start my system and then connect the lan, all the 3 browsers work fine. I'm noticing this issue after I've uninstalled TuneUP Utilities trial pack and/or after I've installed LABTEC wireless Keyboard and mouse. Later on I've uninstalled the LABTEC software, but still its no use.

My desktop will not connect to the internet at home, but will connect anywhere else I take it. I can bring other desktops or laptops home and they will connect. For a little background, my son installed a router for a couple of months and when he disconnected his computer I lost connectivity with my desktop. The router is gone, I am directly connected to the modem. Seems like the ip address reverts back to the address that the router assigned for 30 seconds then to 169. ........ I have tried all sorts of fixes that I have found on the net, but none have worked. Have changed modems, ethernet cables, ISP has also tried but nothing has worked.

I am having trouble connecting to my home computer from my work computer via the Windows Remote Desktop Connection app.On my home computer (win 7 pro) I have:
1. Allowed incoming remote desktop connections
2. Verified that the firewall is open for RDC
3. Forwarded port 3389 on my router to my devices static IP
4.Verified that I am using the correct IP (Router has a dynamic IP but I called home and had my wife read the current IP # from whatismyip.com)
5. Setup an account on the home computer that is password protected
I am connecting from a win XP pro computer.I receive 0% packet loss with reasonable time delay when pinging my home IP from the work computer.I also asked a family member to try from a different location (using Vista Ultimate) with the same result Error is that connection is never established and I am never prompted to logon to the home computer.I can connect via RDC when on the home network.

Internet connection fails when desktop boots?I have a wireless internet router/modem. Netgear.The internet works fine via wireless for laptops, phones etc.Until i boot my desktop up that is connected via cable to the router it then drops the internet connection.The network is still showing as active but local only.If i open a browser it tells me that it cannot resolve the DNS server.if i switch the desktop off and reconnect the laptop it works.So its not the laptop or the router i have used a few different cables all the same.I'm using XP on desktop fairly fresh install with AVG antivirus and not much else on it but i have had the internet working since install so its some setting somewhere thats changed or needs setting up again.

Share the internet from my laptop to my desktop. I see that others have posted on this subject before but I have been unsuccessful so far. Maybe one of you can point out what is wrong (my guess is its something simple).I have:
*connected the 2 PCs with a Ethernet cable
*I can successfully share/transfer files between the 2 PCs
*When I found out the internet wasn't sharing, I manually changed the setting of the network adapter (IPv4) with the right ip/subnet
*I was unable to ping the two computer before I changed the settings of the network adapter.Even with being able to ping,the laptop still wouldn't let me share the internet.
*I have put everything back (all settings) that I changed to kind of start new.My laptop runs Windows 8 and my desktop runs Windows 7. [code]

I want to connect my Desktop to my Laptop....which I can do with an ethernet cable, but I don't know how to let them share the wireless/wifi connection. How to connect to the internet on my Desktop through the Laptop?

Recently, my desktop will not connect to the internet but all the other laptops in the house can connect to the internet wirelessly. The desktop is hard wired to the dlink router and worked fine up until about last week. How to check if its a virus, bad networking card or maybe something else?

I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop. Both are running Win7 64 bit.My laptop's wireless card went kabloom and I'm too broke to afford a wireless adapter for my laptop. So I have the next best thing, connect the desktop to the laptop and share my desktop's internet connection with.But of course, it's not that simple. The problem is that the laptop isn't able to connect to the internet. I have shared my desktop's internet to my laptop before using the same cable and everything and it used to work, but now it doesn't.Now comes the 'weird' part. I reversed the order, or I shared my laptop's wireless connection with my desktop. Although slow and choppy, it did work and I was able to access the internet from my desktop using a connection to my laptop with a cable.

I have already successfully port forwarded my router and am able to connect to my mine craft server from anywhere on the Internet. Now id like to be able to remotely access my server from the Internet and install plugins or whatever. What are the basic steps to accomplish this? What port number should I use? Can I setup passwords so not just anyone can remotely connect? And can I limit which directories on the server's hard drive can be accessed remotely?

I recently built a new desktop computer and installed it with Windows 7 since our old xp desktop had crashed. I am now trying to setup our wireless network similar to the way it was on the old xp desktop but cannot seem to figure out how to do it on windows. The basic setup would be:
verizon usb card (internet soure) ---> Desktop ---> ethernet cable to router ---> wirless access for laptops etc.
This was fairly easy on xp. All I had to do was enable ICS on the verizon card and then run the little network setup wizard on xp and boom the router was broadcasting internet.
Now unfortunately windows 7 doesn't have that little wizard and I simply cannot figure out how to create the same setup. I enabled ICS on the verizon card but can't seem to get internet access to the router after that.

I've got an older HP desktop that's running on Windows XP SP3 in my living room and it's all of a sudden not connecting to the internet. I know the problem isn't with the router or internet connection themselves, as my laptop works perfectly fine. I've tried resetting the TCP/IP, resetting the modem, and resetting the WINSOCK entries. Also, here is the IP configuration screen:
