Ok, made a little progress here. I took my router out of the equation (disconnected it) and went straight from the comp to the modem. I now see that I have a reading of 'true' in my bug report under 'incoming this session', so at least we know where that problem is coming from. The bad news is that I still didn't get a d/l speed over 1 Kbps. Oh I also noticed that someone was uploading from me, which is something else that has not happened since my trouble began so I suppose that the router was messing that up to.

I re ran the ADSL test but had similar results to the last test; actually a bit worse this time but I realize that the results are never the same.

I also did another virus / trojan scan, came out clean. I then deleted some older stuff on the comp, giving me another 15 gigs (yes gigs lol) of free HDD space. Defragged again, ran spy bot, Ad aware and cleaned my registry.

Hmm I just remembered, I don't think I have tried using the older version of JAVA....think I should give it a go?
I am going to leave the other computer off and keep the router out of the equation until we are able to find a solution to the problems I am having without it. Once these are worked out I will work on the router.
