About my Network Connection.?

Question

My network connection (LAN) is slow. so how do i speed up how many packets it sends and receives. My computer only send and receives about 2,000 to 2,500 packets. but when i look at the other computer it's more than 2,000,0000 packets. why is mine so slow but the other so fast? thanx in advance. i generally only use it to play StarCraft (MultiPlayer) and it's really laggy.

Answer 1

maybe you are far from your ISP. Ask them if they can up your speeds. Sometimes because you are far, they have to lower your speed to give you a constant connection.

Answer 2

Few things to check when you are having LAN connection problem:
- make sure the network cable is in best condition (not too long, not broken, etc)
- make sure your network card/port is working fine, such as no dust on the network cable and son on.
- Check your network card speed. Old network card is only 10Mbps, later one is 100Mbps, the latest is 1Gbps.
- Check no other software using the network connection

Answer 3

try this trick:

click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc in the box, then hit Enter. Click the + on the top Administrative Template (under Computer Configuration group), then click the + on Network, click on QoS (not the + this time), on the right box, double click the Limit Reservable Bandwidth, click Enable, change the 20% to 0%, click OK to save, close the windows, restart your computer. Your computer should be fast now.

Answer 4

It ultimately depends upon which type of internet connection you have. If you have dial up or DSL then you will probably experience a slower connection then with a cable connection.
There really isn't anything you can do from your computers standpoint. Try upgrading to a better internet connection.
