Not sure if any one else has had, or has heard of a problem like this but any answers would really help.

There's 2 laptops in the house, and one desktop. One laptop is XP, the other Vista and on my desktop I have dual boot of XP 32bit and Windows 7 64bit.

During internet speed tests on the XP laptop and desktop in XP I get speeds of around 3-4mb/s. Yet on the Vista laptop and the dektop in Windows 7 I get around 12mb/s.

All the same router/internet connection. Used wireless on desktop and cable, no difference. Using dektop as example, its 3-4mb/s when I boot in XP and 12mb/s in Windows 7!!!!

I've ran virus/spyware checks with nothing found, seriously don't get it. Obviously to me an XP issue, but cant for the life of me figure. Ran searches and all I came up with is other forums with people with the same question, but never any answers!

If any one has any idea's that would be great!?
 
TCP Worked well, thanks. Took it from 3-4 to around 7mb/s. Still about 5-6 less than the laptop on Vista however, still dont get why really.

Connected to a wireless router, 54mb/s. Heres the info I've pulled from its homepage (192.168.1.254)

DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,020 / 16,083
