Here's my setup. Two PCs are connected to a Linksys switch (both running XP), with a cable modem in the uplink. Works great. As of recently though, sometimes, the internet bandwidth (or what seems like the bandwidth) for one of the computers becomes very small and slow, so internet pages take forever to load, etc. This did not used to happen before, it is almost like the other computer is hogging all the network bandwidth. In the Task Manager, when this happens, the network utilization can't break the 0.5% mark. This isnt right. If I shut down the other computer, the speed and bandwidth come back to life. Why is this?
