Windows XP limiting internet speed?

[Kings]

On my windows XP machine the internet seems to be painfully slow, but on my windows 98 machine it goes way faster.

Any ideas why this might happen?

[DiGiTaIErRoR]

Yes, I know everything.

Wait... No... I don't

This would be dependent on so many things.

Like...

how you connect!

inclusive of:
dsl/cable/dial-up
modem, modem type
modem connection to pc
drivers
etc.

do one thing disable all the different protocols in the network properties exept the tcp/ip. I guess atleast this will increase your internet speed.

if you have got any other viable solution do let me inform that also

Using the write contry settings and drivers can have a massive impact in internet speed check it is configered correctly in XP

Am using cable, through a router. Will also try to disable the other network protocols.
