ADSL connection, need help!

[yoco]

1Mbps huh, you remind me of myself when I had 1Mbit back in 2006.

I recall reading that if you reduce the Ethernet card's link speed to 10Mbit via the Device Manager you can solve this.

And the "connection numbers" you mention may be the DNS IPs maybe? I remember that with your previous connection you had manually entered your ISP's.

I found a solution. I had to enter some DNS IPs. Works fine so far!

so ur dhcp is giving u probems lol, bad network card or maybe just needs an updated driver

Cool. And you know I couldn't reply to that post without suggesting using OpenDNS or another similar service... Have a look at this list if you're interested:

if your CPU usage always 100% i would suspect its kind of virus/trojan, you can scan it first.

after that you could try to upgrade your modem firmware to the latest. hopefully it helps

It's working fine for now, so if anything happens you'll sure to know

Is there a thread here maybe about what software to use about patching connections? I hope you know what I mean, from windows default 10 to higher number!

This should suffice:
Half-open limit fix (patch) for Windows - Home

[yoco]

Thnx! Do you maybe recommend a number?

[anon]

I patched mine to allow 16777215 simultaneous half-open connections. Yes, it's a big number, and no, nothing will happen if you're careful with what you run.

[yoco]

I'll start with 500 and see how it goes!

Remember to repatch every so often after windows updates cos anythng that is foreign is restored.

[yoco]

I always have windwos update on OFF

I forgot about that - if I remember correctly, SFP would first swiftly come into effect to replace the file (if it's cached) or ask for the Windows CD. I disabled that (and removed a lot of crap from my XP) via XPLite.

[dreamer]

what is the advantage of allowing such a great number of connections? what is it for?

[saebrtooth]

half open connections basically it was limited by MS due to trojans and viruses sending out massive amounts of crap and doing it fast so making the net a bottle neck situation.
So if u make the connections higher u removed one of the precautions set by MS, but also used by p2p
