I know there is options in the network adaptor for half duplex etc? My motherboard is capable of 1gb LAN, is this causing this issue? how can i resolve it.

many thanks

Hi Bob, I wouldn't have thought it a problem. Maybe if someone comes along and has a solution, we'll both benefit. Here's a look at yours side-by-side with mine: 📎Packets_Received.jpg Your ratio is 0.83 ..my ratio is 0.617 Pretty close and you've probably been downloading fresh utilities and such, which I have done very little. Will be interesting to see if anyone has a suggestion. The only thing I've done to my connection is to adjust Receive window size to TCPWindowSize 64240 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters _______________________ Is there a performance issue that makes you think there is a problem?

I watched quite a few youtube videos and did download a couple of programs e.g VLC Media Player but it just seems quite high. You're comparison has helped me stop worrying though cheers
