    It's from the router. ISP IP address is completely different from that. This is the IP address router assigns to PCs. In my router you can change the XX in 192.168.XX.ip. When i got this router, it was set to 254 by default and i thought wise to not tinker with it. The reliability of my ISP and their marked products is ZERO.

    I think i may have solved it. My bros and the XP machine's lan wires connect to a socket in my room which leads to the respective rooms were the two PCs are (i don't know the technical term for it). I pulled them out and plugged them back in...and now it works. Unless i screwed up my bros connection, lol. It seems to be working just fine.

    I can't believe the solution was simple as this. I am hitting my head right now.

    Well, you got that right. The network still isn't the same as before. There is a slight hesitation, a slight stutter when i open a folder. Well, i will take it as long as it runs.

    Thanks for all the help Ken!

    Err...i would say splitter, definitely not a switch. It's a socket that takes lan connection, which extends it to other rooms.

    Well, anyway. It seems to be working anyway. My bros LAN is working and the network access is fine for me. But right now, his PC is ON. I wonder what happens when it will be turned off. That's what i want to see. Time to wait till he shuts it. Weirdly strange problem. No wonder google has no answers of it either!

    One thing you can try is to dl something big (a torrent or large file) and see if the dl rate changes with your bros comp unplugged then plugged then on. if the rate stays the same your fine if not bros comp is putting a load on the lan

    glad you are fixed

    I am always downloading something or the other. The speeds have always remained invariable. In fact, i had downloaded a large demo last night when my bros PC was shut off. And right now, i am at it on another demo with my bros PC turned ON and the speeds are the same.

    Alright, confirmed. If my bros PC is on, the network access is fine. If it's turned off, the lan wire is connected to the router, the network becomes slow. Now, what the hell could be the problem! It's as if my bros PC is 'helping' my PC to coupe with the network access speed. I don't think its the router. Has to be a setting in Windows.
