Network Problem

[jhuang0]

Hardware:

Netgear Router, Netgear PCI Ethernet Card, and a generic Ethernet card

Ever since an upgrade of the motherboard and CPU (Asus A7V333 running Windows XP), the Internet has pretty much stopped working on one of the machines. It produces a HUGE lag time, leaving me to wait minutes for any webpage to load with a DSL conneciton. The other computer on the network remained unaffected, it's Internet connection fully functional.

I have eleminated the router, the ethernet cable, and the ethernet card. All of these were eliminated via testing and swapping hardware. The computer is running Windows XP, and when the DSL modem is connected directly to the computer, the Internet connection is fully funcitonal.

Thx for your help

Try a couple of things and report back. Try disconnecting the computer that is working from the router and see if the problem machine improves.

Make sure ICS is off on both computers and DHCP is off on both computers.

You could try setting it up with a static ip address to see if that helps. Manually give it a lan ip, subnet, gateway and DNS.

Are you file sharing or just sharing an internet connection? If you are not file sharing, turn off the feature and disable NetBUI and SPX/IPX.

Are you running any firewalls including the XP firewall? If so, turn them off until you get the problem solved.

Just some suggestions, not much info to go on.
