ok here goes. i have a 1 yr old machine with lots of hdwe and have run a router for several years...then this happens and i dont know who to shoot!!! isp upgraded (old speeds 4.5mbps d/l and 360k up) isp increased upload by 2x. but then my router stopped servicing all but one lan device (none of these machines is networked to other lan devices). of course i have power cycled, even formatted , nothing solves the prob...but i dont know if its the cable modem that took some kind of hit during their upgrade process, or whether its my router ( i bought a new one but dont want to put it up until i know the culprit). finally, i have slowed down from 4.5mb to approx 400-600kb, that is dramatic. since the format i have run many trusted malware detectors, i ran hijack this, i ran cws shredder, i ran avg. and a couple of rootkit detectors, and all come clean so i DO NOT have a malware infestation. . ok finally, i need a strategy to approch solving this prob.. is there a way i can test my connection to determine if its the router or modem or???. i can access the internet, albeit very slow - like dial up almost) but i can only send p2p stuff from 1 computer...3 weeks ago i could send from 3 computers...see my problem?!?!?! aloha
