BleepingComputer.com: Internet slow after reformat

Hello, i have a Compaq s3000nx with an emachines au31 replacement motherboard 448 MB ram 2.17ghz athlon 3200 cpu windows xp 32bit sp3 avast free.

last night i reformatted - one partition, and i defragged earlier drive C still no improvement.... anyways...

my internet, since the reformat is noticabley slower. Pages load slower, youtube vidoes slower, downloads slower.

any suggestions, please?



oh yeah, i have also downloaded and installed all new microsoft updates and im connected to a router in a network w/ my cousin's comp.

try using the old IP address you were using before you formated the computer.
I believe it will help out.
