As it turns out, Sygate firewall was the problem. It was not showing running in task manager and it wasn't in the startup dialog box. I just decided to remove it from Add/Remove problems and restarted and voila.

Thanks for the help but I guess I just overstepped a very important detail.

The DNS is 167.206.3.161 and 167.206.3.160 for the computer that's not working. That is the same DNS on this computer I am responding to you on.

I don't believe it's a DNS problem as I can ping google.com and get an IP, but can't connect to it via a web browser.

I must be missing something very ...

Home XP SP2

I connect via a router to a cable modem.

2 other computers in the network work fine.

1 computer (the Home XP) can ping inside the network and can retrive IP's of google and espn.com, so the DNS works, but I can't browse the web on it (have both IE7 and Firefox 2 installed). So this ...

Hmm funny, I was just on another forum and the specific thread was full of .gifs. The page was loading at around 13mbit/s, the same as when wired. So it seems when downloading from more than one specific source, the speeds are as normal. When downloading from 1 specific source, speeds are limited to ...

Garrr. I've tried resetting all settings, re-installing the latest firmware, changing the frequency channels, and still am getting no improvements. :(

By any chance could the hardware go bad? I've had it for about 2 years now. Anyone know the lifespan on these things?

If it is, then i'll get a new ...

WRT54GS

This issue happens on multiple computers.

When wired to the router, I get about 13mbit/s download, when connected via wifi, I only get around 4mbit/s. And both ways upload stream is the same.

I used to get the same with either wifi or wired, but for some reason it just started doing this ...

WOOOOOO

FINALLY got it to work.

As it turns out, RPC Locator protocol service had become disabled.

Took me 3 weeks to figure it out, but I did.

As I looked at the services (as I had done many times since I have been having this problem) I sorted via the "Essential" tab, and what do ya know? One ...

First, I hope this is the right section.

XP Home, SP2

All (known) firewalls are disabled. Normally Windows Firewall is disabled, and I use Sygate Firewall.

I noticed about 3 days ago that my bittorrent client wasn't accepting Remote connections from other computers. I then proceded to make sure ...

First, yes I do have the latest firmware.

Well yes, there is a need for 2 routers. The cable modem is in my basement, to where the first wired router comes in, which then connects to 2 other routers/hubs.

If I just connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, I will get hardly the ...

I am mostly connected through 2 routers, 1 wired and 1 wireless.

Cable Modem --> Linksys BEFSR41 --> Linksys WRT54GS --> my computer

When connected directly to my cable modem i get speeds of 13mbps/2mbps (No lie, Optimum Online just recently upgraded free of charge :)

Anyway, the upload doesn't ...

First, everything works fine with the xx.25 as the DHCP server.

I want my WRT54G (xx.33) to be the DHCP server, not the Gateway (the 1st REFSR41). Everytime I do so, the DHCP works, but once the computers get the IP from the server, now IT is the gateway.

Is there any way to make it the DHCP ...

I FOUND YOUR MISTAKE

you uploaded "index.html" as a directory, not as a file.

you might wanna fix that.

The IP.

2 Computers.

Both are in the same workgroup, same IP network.

Connected wirelessly.

Turned off all firewalls.

Can ping router, but cannot ping either computer from the other one.

I know I have to be missing one small step, but can't think of it at the moment.

Has been driving me crazy for ...

I'm beginning to think it's SP2-related.

If it makes any difference, I have clocked my speeds at around 1.5 MB/s down and 124 KB/s up. (Optimum Online)

I run Ad-Aware and Spybot weekly.

Latest firmware, WPA-PSK TKIP.

Cable.

If I have a BitTorrent client, SoulSeek (P2P Program), or even sending large files (like music albums) over AIM, my wireless connection drops. Whether on DHCP or static, it does not matter. I am then forced to restart (XP Home SP2), it starts up fine. No connection problems when not sending ...

yeah i was wondering too.

anxious to see any suggestions

I'm having some trouble with Netstumbler, dunno what/how it is supposed to work.

Do I have to broadcast my SSID? Currently, I do not have it broadcasted.

well, it must be someone close to you, if you're friendly with your neighbors ask them.

if you live in an apartment building, it might not be so simple

I have a WPC54GS installed on a Win 98 SE. Because it only has 98 MB of RAM (i don't use it that much), it there another way of connecting to the Wireless Netowrk WITHOUT loading the program that Linksys installed via the CD-ROM. I know it can be done on XP, but I'm not sure on Win 98.

Thanks

thanks for the link crazy, but i dont notice any better speeds/reception once i turn the antenna settings up

did you?

From what I remember a while back, my UL speed used to be around 75 KB/s, and now it tops around 30 KB/s. Could this also possibly be my ISP (Cable) putting a cap on my UL speed?

Thanks but I tried the unplugging method and same results.

Your download speed : 3640737 bps, or 3555 kbps.

As compared to the DL, the UL is about 1/30 the speed of the DL.

Anyone know if this is typical or maybe I messed up when doing registry ...
