I see alot of people with slow speeds lately, I know alot of this has to do with Comcast, but other than tweaking your RWIN and other settings you also need to make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC and set your "media type" or "duplex mode" to 10mb half duplex, it will make a difference, for instructions look at Lobo's post here (http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68681).:) :D

If your NIC card says auto detect=no 10BaseT, I have Linksy's NIC and auto detect is wrong:) :)

I recently bought a Netgear FA312 for my main computer, and it does not have this option. All of my other cards did. I even installed the latest drivers and it is not available.

The only options are:
100 Base TX
100 Base TX Full Duplex
10 Base T
10 Base T Full Duplex
Auto Sense.

So which one do I choose?

TIA
