I've been having really bad connection issues this evening on my main PC.
First I thought it was my Internet connection (Nildram) being slow, but then pages from my NAS box were slow too.
Decided to re-boot everything, figuring the cheap ass Belkin router was playing up. Still no good, in fact I think it was worse. Fired up my laptop and was downloading at about 600kb/sec without blinking. OK, so it's not the Internet connection or the router, perhaps the gigabit switch is going. Nope, plugging directly into the router is the same.
I was starting to think it was the switch in the router or the on board NIC when i realised that Vista had presented me with a new Realtec driver to install this afternoon. Dived into device manager and rolled the driver back (first time I've tried to do that actually) and all is back to normal.
Pain in the arse that was. Glad it wasn't hardware related though, didn't want to have to buy another router or anything![]()
