Before I start with the problem, I'll give a few details about my Apache server. It's Windows XP Home Edition, with Service Patch 2 and all updates complete. It runs Wamp, which has Apache and MySQL. However, I have done tests to show that the problem lies with Apache. The server is behind a router, but I doubt that is causing the problem. People can access my server from my domain, without a problem. My internet connection is 2MBit, with around 200Kbs upload.
Now for the problem. I have noticed that when Apache is running, my internet connection slows down drastically, from around 1800Kbs, to anything as low as 300Kbs. When I close Apache, within about 5 minutes, my connection goes back up to a proper speed. When I start Apache, it can take anything between 5 mintutes, and half an hour for my connection to slow down, but it always does.
Is there a way to fix this? I appreciate any help given. I am fairly new to this, but I have done my research where needed.
Thanks a lot.
