Hi,
I face some problem while accessing internet from my laptop. I am having broadband connection with 56kbps. I can able to access any website. But its very very slow. Download is at the rate of 4 or even below 2 kbps. But at the same time i have connected another machine (desktop) paralelly with the same connection which has the speed of more than 30kbps irrespective of the cable (one is connected thru' N/W cable & another one is thru' USB with external modem)
Is that due to sharing bw two machines? or anything need to be changed on Laptop?

I have given the specs.
Laptop: Compaq Presasrio - AMD 2.2GHZ, 120GB HDD, 1 GB RAM

Maybe formatting shouldn't be your first resort... he's half right though. Run a virus scan, defragment, check what apps and services are running on startup, reinstall drivers for your network card. Then maybe format if all else fails.
