Spotty internet connection
I am embarrassed to report that this seems to have been an issue with Zone
Alarm Free. I will not be using it anymore. On the plus side, I have a brand new XP system with 4 74GB Raptors in RAID 0 and a P4 Core2 6600 at 2.4GHz and 2 GB RAM. I like it... All help appreciated. Rip "Jack [MVP-Networking]" wrote in message ... Hi Did you check whether it is IE, Internet, or Local Network slow down. I.e., try to transfer files between the computer and other computers on the Network, and see what the Speed of transfer is. Try another Browser too. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).. "RipperT @nOsPaM.nEt" RiPpErT wrote in message ... Internet trouble with one XP SP3 machine on a wired/wireless network with 5 machines (XP, Vista Biz, Vista Home, Win 7). This machine is wired to Belkin wireless router and has spotty internet connection. IE8 sluggish loading and running. Loading tabs sometimes take forever, sometimes takes no time at all. All other machines networked with each other and surfing the web without problems. I've narrowed the problem down to this machine because it behaves the same way if I bypass the router and connect it directly to the modem. I have/have tried: All recent XP updates Disabling Add ons Registry cleaner Resetting TCP/IP settings Optimizing TCP/IP settings with DrTCP WinSockFix LSP Fix Creating and setting registry keys: NegativeCacheTime NetFailureCacheTime NegativeSOACacheTime Uninstalling/reinstalling network adapters Testing each of two built in adapters Swapped out cables Swapped cables among different different router jacks Reset IE8 to defaults Ran MalwareBytes AVG Free Scan AdAware Spybot Incidentally, programs that update themselves aren't having any problem connecting to their servers Can anyone think of anything else I might check before I re-install an OS? Many thanks! Ripper |

Spotty internet connection
I cannot THANK YOU enough for posting this. All 3 of my XP computers were
using Zone Alarm Free.We have lived with horrible to non-usable connectivity for 4 weeks. Very frustrating. Tried everything and got ATT tech support involved multiple times.. no success whatsoever. Your post solved the problem. Thanks. "RipperT" wrote: I am embarrassed to report that this seems to have been an issue with Zone Alarm Free. I will not be using it anymore.
