Hey, recently my internet connection speed has gotten really slow for some unknown reason. It only affects this one computer I'm currently typing from, my two other computers are working completely normal. This one is a Windows XP SP3 machine, other two are Debian Linux and Windows XP SP2.
Soon after upgrading to SP3 I've noticed that I can't download anything from the internet very fast. Let's say I take a random file somewhere and try downloading it on all the three machines (not at the same time of course), my other Windows machine and Linux machine both get a good speed, let's say 500 kB/s for now. This SP3 machine is only getting like 80 kB/s though and from some servers it's even worse. The maximum I'm getting from youtube for example is around 20 kB/s while I can get around 300 kB/s with my two other computers. My internet connection speed should be 10M/10M but it's usually more like 5/5, that's not the point anyways.
I'm not 100% sure if it's SP3 causing the problems but I've tried with different browsers (Opera, Firefox, even IE) and it doesn't seem to depend on that. I don't want to upgrade my other windows computer to SP3 yet if it'll cause this same problem on that computer too.
I have no idea if you'll need logs from programs like Hijackthis and the likes but I'll include a HJT log just in case it's needed. Also, my system should be virusfree. I'm using up-to-date firewall (ZoneAlarm) and antivirus program (Avira AntiVir Personal) and checking it with Spybot Search & Destroy every now and then.
I'm also going to include output from 'netstat -a' since I'm not sure if there should be all those ports connected
My router is WRT54-GL and all of my 3 computers are in the same LAN with NAT on, my linux machine is in DMZ.
