my internet connexion seems abit slow :(

my internet connexion seems abit slow, however, i hope it could be good news because networks are the thing i want to learn about most
can someone suggest a program i can troubleshoot with? i have downloaded, but not installed yet - tesseract and AnalogX's HyperTrace i downloaded these with the purpose of learning and not troubleshooting. Nick S has suggested pingplotter can someone suggest what would be best to troubleshoot with . thanks

EDIT im going to install the 30 evaluation of Pingplotter. i'll have alook at it and try and post a graph.

 

56K? 45 to 50Kbps
ISDN? 70Kbps
DSL? 300 to 800 Kbps
T1? 800 to 1500 Kbps
CABLE? 1000 to 4000 Kbps

Use this link to test your connection speed. Reload the page to retest.

try Hijackthis and post your log here:

they would clean it and the problem is solved if it is spyware related...don't want to say anything with this though.

Inf;

 

connexion speed 174.16 Kbps (21.77 KBps) - from the test

type - ISDN USB ADSL PPP

connexion speed - 10MBPS
MTU - 1500 bytes

have i missed anything out?

i dont think its spyware, its just been the last few days, the only thing i can think of right now is there was an Antivir Program update at the same time the connxion got slower. i have old HJT logs i can compare with, and im fairly familiar with my HJT logs too, so i'll take alook. thanks.

i have lost my connexion here afew times in the last half hour and from the first time AntiVir updated it's Def's after the Program update it has been slow.

 

i'll try it out, but i didnt explain this properly. the speed is fine most of the time, some of the time its abit slower then normal, and other times i just dont make a connexion. i dont think it is speed tests that i need to do. but log datagrams, packet transfers and ICMPs etc. over a period of hours/days

 

do you mean where it says " Some of the best Broadband tweaks and Speed patches on the Net " is that where i go? thanks



EDIT sorry i just re-read my first post, and i didnt really explain what the problem is.

 

thanks MR P i did it, but it was just the port scan. then it said login or register free to take the speed tests. thanks for the help, but i dont like to do things like that at sites im not sure about, i went there because after reading your posts i dont think you'd do anything malicious, so thanks. but im going to install pingplotter, so it can collect data over a longer period of time.

ive never needed to troubleshoot over a network before, does anyone have any advice about packet loss, time-outs, analyzing protocols, ping, traceroute and the rest? i really only know the very basics - afew days reading so i dont want to start pinging people i shouldnt be. thanks

 

thanks. did you notice the board was down for abit? i thought OMG ive really been cracked .but i spoke to LWM because i was so frantic and the board was down. i'll have a look at the links, thanks . im definately going to install pingplotter too, i wanted it anyway. i'm going to have a cup of tea too much excitement for me.

But I don't know if iI'd trust it........here's mine.......on dial-up!!!!

 

Mine.... although I'm behind a router if it makes any difference...

 

my times vary from about 0.05 - 0.01 probably normal speed. i installed Ping Plotter, im going to have a big complicated graph to show everyone
