Road Runner as fast as a hurd of turtles

[Coldkilla]

My internet (Road Runner), continuously resets itself every few minutes or so. As soon as I start downloading its ALWAYS below 10kbs. If I turn on a file sharing program and start a download, it automatically shuts off. I dont know what this problem could be caused by. If you guys have any information, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Have you tried disconnecting the router if you are using one?

 

[Coldkilla]

Just have the one computer. No Router. Unless you are talking about the Cable Modem "Fin" I have. I have reset that and tried that. It resets itself too every few minutes.

Is your network card in your PC set to auto for connection speed and is it a 10/100 card? All network cables have to be cat5 or higher (i think).

How can I check what cable I have? Also How can i find out what my PC is "Set For"

Network connections in control panel. The cables should have writing on the side of them (get out the reading glasses possibly).
