You've not told us enough information:



1) What type of internet connection do you have?



DSL 256k



2) What version of Windows?



XP home.



3) What service packs for Windows?



don't know..



4) What are you doing that you think is slow?



the downloads in a file-sharing program.. i just got dsl, expecting the


downloads to get faster.. the speed is 1-->10KB/s, which is slow.. plus


other filesharing programs say that im connected behind a firewall


causing a limited search results and slower downloads.



5) What other firewalls do you have installed?



didn't install any.



6) Do you have a NAT box (linksys/dlink...)?



yeah i have ADSL ZOOM X5

hope this helps...
