thanks a lot ... i've always been used to high speed connections at school and at work. &nbsp;i've never actually had to use a modem until now (to telnet into my account). &nbsp;it's pretty horrendous when i have to wait hours to download Netscape, not to mention the random disconnections<br />
<br />
i'm never going to complain about the &quot;slow&quot; speed of my Ultra10 at school anymore :)<br />

My brother just got a new computer (PII, 64M ram, Win98) and uses AOL to connect to the web. &nbsp;When connecting, AOL reports that it has connected at 56k. &nbsp;However, whenever I try to download anything, the download transfer rate is rarely higher than 5 kbits/sec. Yes, 5 k!!! &nbsp;I also used a progrsm (DU Meter) to monitor the port and it verified the rate. &nbsp;What gives? &nbsp;Is something set wrong?<br />

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
