Goto Network Connections, open the properties for Local Area Connection, then in the little scroll box, remove all the ticks from the protocols except Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). If you want/need to share files or printers, also tick File and Printer Sharing and Client for Microsoft Networks.

You might want to also set the connection to connect at 100M full duplex, by clicking on configure in the General tab of properties for the connection, then going to advanced on the network card's driver window, and then selecting the Link Speed/Duplex property and setting it to 100 Full.

done the first part no probs but couldnt find the second part linkspeed/duplex part

cheers for your help so far

Ok on the General tab, there should be a "configure" button, click on that, it will open up a new window, then goto the advanced tab, then there should be a "properties" tab with Link Speed/Duplex in it, click on it then set the speed/duplex to 100m Full.

Maybe, it depends as you said whether it was NTL or your network. It should make a difference, but I don't know to what extent.
