It shoudn't make *any no never mind*

You are resetting your modem and this will clear the crappy cache and get your browser snappy.
This is also how you reset for increased speed when your ISP has increased its speed.

so, i'm feeding off of a neighbors wireless, this will still apply to my connection? just unplug the wireless adapter, and do what you said, and it will speed up. even though it should all be off of his settings? or is it?

and how do i make the Piece that we use at work go faster? there's about 5-6 people that use it, all with different log in's and we have no "admin" access to it. the gurus came in and wipped everything out, supposively made it "better" and every day, i wanna throw this damn thing over the work counter.

what's the deal with my computer? I've never had any issues before. I have an Emachines desktop. Amd processor 1.8ghz. 2g memory with 80gb hdd. a couple days ago, something happened. i don't know if it got a virus or what. but my wireless stopped working. and when i would plug it in, the computer would say the device is malfunctioning. then i would plug it into the laptop, and there was no problems.

i couldn't figure it out, so i just did a whole system restore. not a big deal, since i have everything backed up on an external harddrive.

it took forever to get the settings back like they were, graphics card, etc... and now it's running slow. i.e. on the task manager, it reads 100% it used to hover around 34% or so. and i'm not running any more programs than i used to.

i have ran norton, spy sweeper, and i have pest patrol. ran all programs, but nothing is being detected. i increased the page file in the "performance" tab as stated above, and it's still running slow. what's the deaL?
