The result of my test was 23.1 kbps.
I'm using an old 28.8 kbps dial-up modem for now, at least since my 56 kbps modem was fried in a recent thunderstorm.

But the box i got 5M on was ON THE CABLE MODEM Locust!!Originally posted by locustfurnace
If one box gets 5mbps, and the other only 3mbps, then check the cable, you might have a poor quality cat5 cable. Get a cat5e or cat6 cable instead. Also, you machine being windows 98 may need to be tuned a little better.
Im going over a router here on MY computer and speed is lost unfortunetly....(Anything wireless will lose speed,etc.......)
I dunno,im just glad i have what i have!!!!!!! (Anything over 3 Megs is outstanding over this router i think)

Did you try changing the cable out? Does the cable sit next to any power cords?Originally posted by The Dude@Jul 4 2005, 09:45 AM

What type of Ethernet card is in the win98 box?
Did you tweak the MTU and RWIN on the slower performing machine?
Check here for a howto,

If your using a Wireless link between the 2 machines, then YES, it will be a bit slower, since the speed rating on all devices in not RealWorld performance.
If you have any Flurescent lights in the room, it can create issues with anything wireless.
Yes im aware of the light thing,this light in my room causes interference on my radio (Am band) when its on.....(Luckily,thank god, it doesnt interfere with my router connection)
I just got a NEW router seeing as my old one broke (Not even a year old.....)
My speed is: 3709.1 Kbps (3.7 megs)
Very good............... (Boy did i have a hard time getting the new s/w installed......It wouldnt work right,my firewall would not run with the drivers loaded for the new router,etc... But i think and HOPE things are ok now)
My speed is 44326 kbps. yeah i think thats quite fast.
I have a MINI ADAPTER now cause my NETGEAR one broke and this thing is worse than that was!! (Its smaller and doesnt get a good a signal from the modem 1/2 the time)
My results: 1142.9 Kbps
Your Speed is: 13.2 Kbps
hmm. may b not bad!
I just tested now with my MINI adapter and i got 978.4 Kbps
I dunno if that site is me$$ed up now or what....It seems a bit slow (the results),i dunno.....
