Bought a new dv6 hp pavilion laptop with vista 64 bit, and having very slow connection speeds through my router (DSL 504T) to the internet and other pcs on the network. Read on some forums that rolling back the drivers wuld work, but cos its a new laptop, there are no drivers to roll back to.
Another solution suggested was to disable "Advanced Networking Service" in the services.msc startup. Unfortunately, there is no such thing listed in the services..... :S please help!
Any suggestions wuld be much appreciated

Hi:
How about a speedtest so we can see what is "slow"

www.speakeasy.net/speedtest

A speed test I like better nowadays is www.speedtest.net, they seem to have more servers, and it works world-wide.

[jazzychrissy]

did that work?
ah yes! it did
Yepu, the first link is only for american servers XD

oo btw, in addition, i know this might be irrelevant, but copying data from my USB to the laptop goes at 10 MB/s. Quick! o.O

Just tried resetting the ipv4 and ipv6. that didnt work either :S

[JohnWill]

Well, that speed is nothing to write home about, what is the speed you expect to get with your service?

[jazzychrissy]

ok maybe the dl speed isnt too bad :S
but the transfer speed between pcs is something like 25 Kb/s
surely thats not right? there must be some options in "services" or "startup" that prevent this from speeding up.

Hey John.Thanks for the speed test site.I'll start to use that one.
Jazzy,as John said that d/l speed is not that great,but what bandwidth(speed) are you paying for.?

[JohnWill]

Try booting the new machine in Safe Mode with Networking and see what transfer speed you get.

How are you measuring the transfer speed between machines?

[jazzychrissy]

By transfering some picture files and seeing what speed they go at. And im paying for more bandwidth than 25 kb/s lol.
Ill try the SAFE MODE networking option
