SLOW INTERNET SPEEDS - PCS FAST! MACS SLOW AS MOLASSES!
This is pretty wierd...
I have a network on ADSL with a Netopia 3346N modem with a new router connected to it. I have 3 macs that are connected to a switch and the switch is connected a port on the router. Then I have 2 PCs and a behemoth printer connected to the second port on the router.
The PCs fly on the net, but the MACs are super slow. They are actually slow when I connect them directly to the Netopia modem too.
Could this be a wiring issue? Maybe a bad Cat5?

I tried the permissions thing on the macs, no go.
Settings of IPs, Gateways all good...I did notice that on one of the older macs it does take like 15 minutes to print a 4 page PDF via USB, maybe its a really old mac?
Still have to try MTU change, DNS Trojan Removal Tool, Firmware Update to Router...I'll report back soon.

IP: 192.168.1.10
Router: 192.168.1.1
Modem is set to provide DHCP and when MACs are connected directly to the modem, they get an ATT IP from the modem and internet seems a bit faster (and by bit, i mean like a few Kb) but not nearly as fast as the PCs.
