DTM slows my laptop's internet connection to a snail's pace

I have a new Dell Latitude 6410, Intel i5, 4GB, running Win7 Ultimate.  Without DTM installed, my internet download rate is over 6 mbps.  With DTM installed, my rate drops to under 4 kbps (yes, kilobytes)!  I need my internet connection to run fast but I would also like to use DTM to sync my BB.  Any ideas?  Thanks, Mike

I thought the internet sharing via iPhone USB would do the trick but I can't seem to get it working.
Thats because what you're tyring to is not possible.  Internet sharing is for sharing the phones cellular connection over wifi, not the other way around.
which I cannot do without an internet connnection.
Is there a reason why phones standard cellular connection doesn't work for you?

  • Firefox problems with slow and unreliable dialup internet connection

    I have a slow an unreliable dialup internet connection. This is all that is available in my area -- no form of 'broadband' internet is available, not even satelight (I have too many trees in the way).
    What happens is that due to the poor quality of the analog telephone system (very old and poorly maintained copper cables), my modem drops the internet connection from time to time -- it *usually* dials back, but sometimes I have to manually restart the connection. Because the the connection is so slow, it takes a long time to completely load pages and if the connection is lost in the middle of loading a page, Firefox seems to become 'confused' and even if I stop loading the page and then try to reload it, it does not do so. I have an external modem, so I can watch the blinking lights, so I know when data is being transfered (I also have a connection monitor feature as part of my dialup connection software which shows a bar chart of data transfers over the dialip connection).
    I *seems* like what is happening is that Firefox has open network connections that become 'void' when the connection is lost and then reconnected and Firefox attempts to re-cycle these connections. Or else it has 'worker threads' that have become confused or wedged.
    Are there settings that I can set (eg with 'about:config') to deal with these issues?

    Maybe it helps if you toggle the File > Work Offline setting on/off.
    You can also try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • HT1725 My first time purchasing, downloading and watching a movie from itunes worked fine but the second did not!  An error (unknown error 50) kept coming up no matter how often I tried resuming the download or restarting my laptop and internet connection

    My first ever purchase and download of a movie was successful but the second didn't download and came up with
    "error 50 has occured".  I tried downloading numerous times again after checking my internet connection and rebooting my

    This error can be quite common:

  • Can you run indesign cs4 on a laptop without internet connection

    I believe that Indesign CS4 checks over the internet before opening. If that is the case can you run it on a laptop without an internet connection?
    Thanks

    From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
    "here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
    [Help] files are located in the following location:
    C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
    from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
    should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
    the program itself.*"
    I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program
    Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_GB/InDesign/6.0 (this is in Windows
    Vista, by the way). "

  • WRVS4400N slowing down my 100Mb internet connection

    Hi,
      I have a Cisco WRVS4400N on the latest firmware and I have just had my Virgin internet connection upgraded to the 100Mb. Once i thought it was upgraded i checked with a broadband speed test and it came back as 15Mb download and 5Mb upload. Before i rang Virgin i thought i'd check with a direct connection from my pc straight to the modem. Ran the speed test and it came back as 100Mb download and 5Mb upload. I thought the best thing to do is restore my settings back to factory and its still the same. Just wondering if anyone can assist?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Simon,
       Thanks for helping mate. Definitely not testing over the wireless so I'm running the connection over a Cat5e cable, 1Gb auto negotiated connection from the Virgin modem to the router,  then Cat5e through from the router to the pc also 1Gb auto negotiated. No errors over the connection as reported by the router for the WAN port and none for the LAN port. They are the only things connected. I've turned the wireless off so there should be no wireless devices connected, just the pc.
    Cheers again
    Andy

  • TS3408 Safari slow in recognizing internet connection

    Safari gas been slow to recognize my internet connection. Other browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) hace been fine and recognize it quickly. However, when I open Safari, I sometimes get the message "You are not connected to the internet". If I wait, it eventually connects. Also, when connected, it often loads websites/pages slowly. Is there an easy fix to this or is it just the Safari software?

    1.Power off the router. Wait a while.
        Power it on back. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
        Restart the computer.
    2. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    3. Reset Safari

  • Will an iPhone use my laptops internet connection?

    To Whom It May Concern,
    I have a laptop and it is connected to the internet, but I do not have WiFi available. Is it possible to have my iPhone access internet by connecting it to my laptop? If yes, please tell me how. Thank you for your help.

    Possibly but as I said I'm not up to speed with Windows so I don't know how to get the networking options into the necessary state to accomplish what you need.
    What if i hack the phone, can i find a third party app that will allow me to use my laptops Ethernet internet connection?
    I have no idea. I suspect also that anything that involves hacking the phone would be removed from this Apple forum pretty sharpish.

  • Macbook pro connected to network but no internet connection

    Hey all,
    i have a Macbook pro, running on OS X 10.6.8,
    i made a software update, where a  java update was made, an HP printer update, a Itunes ipdate and a Macbook Pro SMC firmware update 1.6.
    Since then, i cant connect to the internet.
    I ran network diagnostics and it says "your connection appears to be working correctly".
    Same if i plug in the Lan-cable to my laptop.
    Network diagnostics says that my internet is running correctly, but no browser or any other program can connect to the internet.
    tried it at 2 different location (home and work) and nothing works. Other laptops have internet connection through the same router and wifi.
    restarted router and wifi, did not help
    restarted wifiAirport multiple times, wont help,
    restarted Laptop multiple times, wont help.
    renewed DHCP, and IP adress, i get a new ip adress, and it says im connected but it wont work.
    any other ideas?

    That doesn't mean anything.  You can't telnet to google. lol
    The ping you did above shows you that Internet access and DNS is working fine.  If it wasn't, you wouldn't be able to get replies.  This means that the problem is with your browser.  Open up Safari and hit Safari/Reset Safari under it's menu.  See if that works to solve your issue.  If it doesn't, then it's a plugin or something else (maybe Proxy changes, etc.) which could be causing this.  One option you have to test is if the reset doesn't fix it, install another browser (you'll need to download the dmg via another PC and install it on the mac from a memory stick or something) and see if a 3rd party browser works.

  • WRT54GL: Losing Internet Connection after shutting down computers

    I've got a Linksys wireless router, the WRT54GL.
    When we set up the router and connect to the internet everything works fine. But when we shut down our wired computers and restart the laptop, the internet connection is gone, but I keep my local area connection. I already have done a firmware upgrade (v4.30)
    Our configuration is as following: A Zyxel Multi-user PC modem, straight cable from normal interface to the WAN interface of the linksys router. Our (2) computers are connected by cable to the router, while we use the laptop for wireless connection.
    Any suggestions to fix this problem?
    Jeroen

    Open routers set up page using http://192.168.1.1 ..... leave username blank & in password use admin ....
    Click wireless tab..... use any non-linksys network name (SSID) ..... use channel either 1 or 11 ..... click save settings .....
    Click wireless security subtab .... use security level either WEP or WPA ....... have a note of the key ....
    On laptop try to connect to network ....... or configure the wireless utility (if you are using WLAN) ..... see if it makes any difference or not ....

  • Satellite L750 - Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Internet connection issue

    I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L750 and a Linksys/Cisco Modem Router WAG120N at the beginning of June and have had trouble ever since connecting to the internet.
    I have a desktop PC hard wired to the modem and don't have any problems accessing the internet. The laptops wireless internet connection keeps either dropping it or not displaying a webpage (even though it says it is connected). It will only run efficiently when connected by ethernet cable directly to the modem. Linksys have told me they believe the Atheros is not compatible with the modem and to contact Toshiba and ask them for the latest download to update the driver adaptor. I am currently running the one listed in the heading.
    Can anyone help? I don't know much about these things. Thank you.

    Hi Lisa C,
    Do you have these issues on preinstalled Windows 7 version from Toshiba or on your own Windows installation?
    Does it happen in eco mode or maximum performance too?
    This issue could be related to power saving function of your WLAN card. In Windows power management you can disable the WLAN power saving function. You have to set it to maximum performance for every power profile.
    Furthermore a WLAN driver update is always recommendable. You can download the latest version on Toshiba WLAN portal:

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

    I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
    also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
    To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
    successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
    My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
    o/s to W7-Ult.
    Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
    Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

    Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
    machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
    Steam or the like causing interference.
    I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
    I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
    my Asus machine.

  • Connecting laptop to internet via cell phone

    I heard i can use my cell phone to connect my laptop to the internet, i currently have a lg envy touch , with a 25 megabyte plan which would not be enough as I am wanting to get rid of current dsl plan and wanting to use my wireless plan as my only paid source of internet connection in my home. 
    I can upgrade plan to unlimited for 29.99 per month which is what i currently pay for my home dsl.  I was told by verizon rep i could use a smartphone ( droid/ droid incredible) to set up a wireless connection in which i could also use my ipod and nintendo dsi to connect to internet as well at the same time as the laptop.
    So my thinking is i add another line to my 2100 minute family plan for additional monthly cost of 9.99 get the droid for 199.99 with the unlimited plan of 29.99 bringing my total monthly bill to 170.00 minus taxes. I currently only use about 900-1000 minutes but the savings of dropping minutes just doesnt seem worth it to me as I have children on my plan and their minutes will increase at some point and I would rather be locked in to a plan that gives me more than needed.
    So I am wondering if others on this forum could give me their opinion/advise?
    Does anyone else use the unlimited 29.99 plan as their only source of internet connection? and how fast/slow etc?
    If it matters I will be using the internet connection in Pasadena Texas and mainly we use the internet for general searches on basic info, job searches, facebook,  ipod music, no gaming or anything complicated, just a typical basic internet family use.
    Thank you so much!
    Shannon

    In addition to the unlimited $29.99 data plan, you would also need a $29.99 tethering plan, so it would cost you $60 a month - and the connection would not be as good as your DSL.  And we use our DSL to connect to a router and have several laptops and desktops using our DSL, which would not work with a tethered connection.  My advice - skip the tethering and keep the DSL.
