Everyones comments all noted. Bill I can discount the HD FD bit as I've force the link between the cable modem to FD, surfboard SB3100 and the NIC to FD but I cant get any faster than 10MB none of the 100MB settings work.
motherboard is a K7 triton, with a 1.2 GHz duron, 500MB of ram. I know the slowest part of the link on a download will limit the download speed but is'nt most of the network now on fibre.
