Help with Speed

[BenDexter]

Hi,


I am on the Max or so I believe? we pay 10 pounds per month,my connection is 1.1mb's which I think is all my line will support...I have never been able to download over 180kb using usenet...however on a speed test it downloads at around 500kbs.

I am connected via ethernet cable to my router,I am using Windows XP.

Here is my speed test result...



Regards,Ben

it sugests I have a firewall or filter blocking something? any ideas what this may be? i dissabled my firewall,(XP firewall still on) so I don't think it's that,what else could it be?

Thanks

Some stops don't allow ping requests, it's not your firewall stopping them it's theirs. Ignore them it means nothing.

You should also use the Giganews europe server as it runs a little better as it is closer. news-europe.giganews.com

Post your router stats and let's see if you are getting the best you can.

Hi,


Thanks,I have tried both servers,and another usenet service and I can't get over 60k for some reason,I used to get 180k average?

how do I post my router stats?

Regards,

[BenDexter]

some help please...

You need to log into your router, by using:

http://192.168.0.1

username: admin
password: sky

At the bottom you should see 'show statistics'

Just copy and paste them in this thread so we can take a look.

[BenDexter]

OK thanks....


is this the right info?

You are connecting at the maximum rate your line will allow in its present state. You need to now plug into the Test socket, take your stats again and post them here.
