computer internet connection slow
Hi all,
I have 2 laptops. Exact same model. Same wireless network card. Same wireless network. One computer downloads files 10x faster than the other. No adware or spyware or virus found using mcafee and ad-aware. Any ideas? Krishan

Re: computer internet connection slow
To begin isolating the problem I would switch the network adaptors between the two PCs. Then see if the slowness problem followed the network adaptor or stayed with the PC.
If it follows the adaptor probably a bad network adaptor If it stays with the PC I'd look at the settings in the "local Area connection Properties"

Re: computer internet connection slow
Both laptops are connecting wirelessly using internal wireless network cards. What info can I give you from the properties window? Thanks for the help!

Re: computer internet connection slow
if you open the connection properties box you shoud see a button that says "configure" to the right of the adaptor listed. Its at the top of the window.
Click on "configure" then select the "Advanced" tab. There should be a list of properties with the value in a box at the right. It will list things like "connection type" and "flow control" I'd compare the values between the two PCs.
