My wired ethernet is slow, but my wireless isn't. What might be wrong?

My ethernet is painfully slow! It just started happening about a week ago and not sure if any configurations had changed. Before things were speedy but now download is a crawl (upload is the same).





I checked DSL Speed Test from SpeakEasy.com. I'm on T1 connection.





For my PC desktop with wired ethernet the speed is like 157kbps and the upload (well couldn't even finish the test cause it was too slow!)


With the Wireless it is 2355kbps download and 2707kbps upload.





I am on a wireless router and have reset it and it has latest firmware.





I have done the ipconfig /renew /release on the pc but no luck. Firewall is disabled on my PC.





Anyone know how to start debugging this?|||Well, from a first point of view, I would say you've damaged the ethernet cable itself. Follow the cable bit by bit intill you find a damage spot, if not, it could also be becuase you've bent the cable to hard past the 90o angle and you need to loosen it up a bit.





Hope this helps.
