Can you tell us which services you have turned of in return of some imaginary performance increase???
 
Than I can pinpoint the one you messed up

The services that are on are;
com + event system
event log
fax service
network connections
plug and play
print spooler
protected storage
QoS RSVP
remote access connection manager
RPC
system event notification
removable storage
telephony
windows management instructions
WMI driver extensions
workstation
 
By the way, this is a dual boot machine and the NIC and DSL work on the win98se side.

If you have a Cisco router 675/678 you may need to program the darn thing to the IP, DNS and Gateway Verizon has given you. Or you may need to plug in IP information into your network properties in 2K/XP.

No router, just a Westell modem hooked to my NIC card.

Fixed it.
It turned out I needed to turn the DHCP Client service back on and set to
automatic.

How do you like your DSL?
What is your max download speed?
I have 768k service and obtain about 750k.

The transfer speed of DSL is the same between the CO (central office) and your modem (which really osn't a modem) at 4pm as it is at 4am, unlike cable where the speed varies depoending on traffic load. I know someone that has cable and there is a huge difference between those time periods when all the kiddies come online with their silly chat rooms and other bandwidth hogging applications and at night when few are on!
 
I'm not talking about the internet in general, just between the CO (DSL) or 'head end' or 'node' (cable) and the subscriber.

yep i know what your talking about
i get 3.3mb at 4am and 2.7mb at 7pm
 
i hate when that happens
