Slow upload speed (3kb/s max) on 5MB cable (only 1 comp problem)

[w1LL]

The problem: I can't upload at all or barely (3kb/s if I actually can). I can't even do the upload test from speakeasy.net since it won't start. I've tested other computers on the network and they can do the tests no problem and perform up to par with my cable providers advertised rates. I can't even browse the problem computer's shared folders from another computer on LAN or copy any files! It shows up but its so slow its ridiculous, and the file transfers just time out.

Info: I'm on a RR 5MB cable, should be 500kb/s down with 50kb/s upload. I had this computer at school but whenever I bring it home this problem comes up. I'm not sure if I had this problem at school but I don't think so. Its connected to a D-link DSS-8 Full Duplex switch, which connects to a linksys router, then to the cable modem. I've switched ethernet wires before and its not that. There are 4 computers connected to the network but most of the time only this computer is actually on. I am on Windows XP Home.

Attempted: I updated my Intel Pro/100 VE NIC card to latest drivers. Scanned with spybotsd and adaware and actually found lots of adware. I've changed to auto detect and all the different link speed modes.

Do you have any torrent progs running?

At school torrent might be blocked, then when you get home the torrents might be starting again ?

[w1LL]

no, no torrent progs. And even when I do run them, they only upload at 1kb/s anyway.

[w1LL]

someone please help?

[trogers]

Run this free trial of Security Task Manager to locate potential malware eating up your upload bandwidth:

[w1LL]

Doesn't look like anythign suspicious, most things are from Microsoft or I know what they are. And Java (TM) 2Platform Standard Edition Binary isn't anything right? And WMDM PMSP Service are only ones I dont know. But the WMDM thing says Manufacturer is Microsoft Corp: Microsoft (R) DRM.

Have you apply the patch for this software device?

Yes, I'm on Windows Media player 9 so it includes the update.

Your upload bandwidth of 50 kbps is a very small value. A couple of live programs may already saturate the bandwidth.

What softwares do you have on this comp that are not installed in your other comps? This may be a good place to start locating the source of your problem, by the elimination method.

You can also install a free netmeter to see how your upload bandwidth is ultilised:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network...NetMeter.shtml

[w1LL]

ok i downloaded that program and it doesn't show anything else taking up the bandwith. BTW my advertised upload speed is 50 kb/s not 50 kbps, while I'm only getting like 3kb/s.

I tried uploading a file with the netmeter on and it shows that it started to upload at 16 kb/s for a couple of seconds and then it just stops and drops to 0 kb/s.

[trogers]

Okay. I understand now your upload bandwidth is 50 KB/s or 400 kbps. If the netmeter does not show saturation, then the problem may be in your NIC or adapter card. Try switching NIC card with another comp to check.
