has anyone noticed any network card speed problems?? or anything especailly related to cable or dsl

Dsl is running great on mine no problems here. Using a 3com 3c905 10/100 network adapter.

Got knology cable modem and seems faster with ME. Have USB fast erthernet connection.

I cannot get my cable modem to work with ME. I have installed and uninstalled twice. Any advice? My dial-up connection continues to work but at a slower speed. I have tried every possible config.

I have noticed a lot of problems with ME. The main one that annoys me the most is how my network connections is much much slower. I am sharing internet through a network connection with my brothers computer and even the internet connection is being affected sometimes. This means that the network connection is falling way below 10mbps. When I would transfer my mp3s from backup on the network (about 8 gigs worth) it would take a little less than an hour with 98SE. With ME I let it run for an hour and a half and it wasn't even done with a Gig yet. I have formatted and installed ME 3 times and it's the same problems each time. I'm this close to downgrading back to 98SE....Actually lemme take that back....ME is the downgrade....

I have Comcast@Home and I had a hell of a lot of problems getting cable to work on ME... This is how you fix it... Click Start> Settings> Control Panel> Network Go to the "Identification Tab" and type in your computer name and workgroup (If your using comcast@home, it'll be "@Home") Click the "Configuration Tab"... These are the protocols you HAVE TO HAVE INSTALLED!!! >Client For Microsoft Networks >Microsoft Family Login >Ethernet Adapter (Your USB Adapter or Card) >IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol >NetBEUI >TCP/IP (Disable DNS, Remove ALL GATEWAYS!,Use DHCP for WINS Configuration, Obtain IP Address automatically, and make sure that "Client To Microsoft Networks" and "Microsoft Family Login" are checked in the "Bindings" area... Just do all that, REBOOT, and it'll work... If not, then you have a bad connection in your CAT-5 cable... If you all have any other questions about boosting cable speed and whatnot, E-Mail me... I'll be more than happy to help you out...

What Wes Smith is mostly true. You do not, however, need IPX/SPX enabled, unless you have Novell software/hardware on your machine. (Even Novell doesn't use it anymore for their newer stuff). They use TCP/IP. If you have a static IP address, you'll need to put that in under your TCP/IP settings along with the gateways that were provided by your ISP. If you have a dynamic IP address, then you follow what Wes said about DHCP. If you don't know what you have, right click on "Network Neighbourhood" on your Desktop, go to properties and then hilite on TCP/IP and click on the properties tab. If it says "obtain Ip address automatically" you have a dynamic IP address, if there are numbers there and it says specify an IP address, you have a static IP address. But to be sure, call your ISP and ask or check the paperwork that they left you when they installed your cable modem.
