Can't unfuck my PC if i don't know where to start i'm afraid All i know is the thing has a dislike for adapters and a preference for wires for some reason. I've tried nearly everything save a full format and i won't bother attempting that if you say my suspicions regarding throttling are very possible.
A throttled connection won't do, no sir it won't do at all...
In control panel, check under network devices and try to identify your wireless card. Make sure there aren't any other wireless drivers installed. A driver conflict between two cards can create all sorts of issues, you may have left an old driver installed since you have been trying out different cards. Remove all of them if you have to and manually set up the new one.
I assume your neighbour has set up QoS on his router to give his computer network priority. Get your own connection and set things up properly.
Nope, already figured that might be it and installed the latest bios and chipset drivers. No joy. Fucking weird isn't it?
I'm done worrying about it since i'm getting a different connection. Too bad it'll take eleventy weeks for them to actually install it.... but ah well.
Like, Are you still an XP tard? Or whats the deal? Because 7 and 8 have had zero problems automatically installing drivers for multiple machines in our home and just 'working'
Please tell me you're using XP so I can make fun of you. Please oh please oh please oh please.
