Had an old PC running windows xp. Worked fine connected to my router
using ethernet and powerline adaptors.
Bought a PC from a mate running Vista Ultimate. Now I'm getting only
about 5kb/s.
Checked my router and reset it. OK. In fact, speed using wireless
connection to router from another PC is absolutely fine so its not an
internet/ISP problem. Checked my powerline adaptors and reset them. No
difference.
So, all I can think at the moment is:-
1. Powerline adaptors have chosen this moment to play up. (although
was working fine before).
Getting hold of long CAT5 cable so I can plug directly into router to
test this.
2. Ethernet interface on new PC is screwed. If so, I guess I can get
hold of a PCI LAN card or something.
3. Somethings up with the Vista install. Maybe virus, malware etc. I
did a malware sweep and it found some but no difference after cleaning
this. Maybe I'll wipe it and install my old version of XP.
Any comments?
