Ummmmmmmmm unless there is some new cable modem, last I checked cable modems only had a 10mbs interface.

And it wouldn't matter either as your cable speed will be the limiting factor.

 

[Maetryx]

Are you certain that his network card is 100Mbps? Maybe it's an older card that is only 10Mbps. Maybe his cable modem is limited to 10Mbps. Anyway, I don't think Windows "limits" network speeds.

 

[Pilsnerpete]

you could get him to start using raspppoe...you can change the speed that appears on the icon. doesn't mean it'll be faster though

If you don't know why his internet is down, there's not a lot you can do without actually going over there and inspecting his configuration.

Change the password to his account. Create a new user with only user privileges.

i remember changeing the number 10.00mbps the other day to 100.00 mbps on my laptop, and all of a sudden internet started working. and my computer allows 100.00 mbps...

100.00Mbps on my computer

ok now i might be wrong, and refering to something much differnt than what i think im talking about...so maybe that picture will help out?

see where it says 100.mbps? on his computer its 10.00 and i want it to be 100...

anyone got an idea?

To change to 100 Mbps look under advanced properties for the NIC. Media Type should list the possibilities available for the currently installed NIC.

Forgot to say, TELL HIM TO STOP LOOKING AT PR0N!

It's not going to make a difference. Analogy:

Pretend you're in a car. You car's maximum speed is 200 miles per hour(100mbit). Your neighbor's car's maximum speed is only 100 miles per hour(10mbit). Now, the cable modem is the road you have to drive on. The type of road that a cable modem is, is a parking lot full of small children and speed bumps. It doesn't matter that his car can only go 100, since he'll never be able to get close to that in the parking lot.

i dont believe so

Just remove the network card from device manager and reinstall it. And then make sure to reset the cable modem.

The fact that is 10/100mbps has no effect on why he isn't recieving any packets.
