[solved]extremly slow network performance

[BigDaddy]

Hello!

I brought my home computer here in the student hall. It runs Windows 2003 Standard Edition. At home we had an ADSL connection and it used the RASPPPOE client which I uninstalled now.

Here in the student hall we each get an external static IP and the speeds are about 5MB/s.

The problem is that when using Internet Explorer or Firefox or even WU the speeds start at 12KB/s and then it lowers to 2KB/s or sometimes even lower.

But uTorrent works without problem with the speeds of around 400KB/s.

What is the problem?

The computer is spyware, virus free and fully updated.

SOLVED:

I changed the adapter from force 100full duplex to auto negotiation and upon restart it started to download normally and the connection is 100Mb full duplex.
