Has anyone used one of these type programs on a laptop where sometimes a
LAN connection is used and other times a dial up connection is used?
I tried one on my IBM ThinkPad and it totally screwed up my LAN
connection. I ran it while in the dialup mode, but when I tried to use my
Ethernet connection, a typically 5 second download from our server took
over a minute, consistently. I finally found a program that would let me
reset the TCPIP settings back to windows default and my LAN connection
speed rose *dramatically* (back to 5 second downloads). I would like to
"tweak" my Dialup connection speed but don't want to screw up my LAN
settings either.
By the way, does anyone know of a Win 95 program that displays (possibly in
systray) LAN activity? I could use either the "flashing" send and receive
display as is displayed by the dialup connection, or a numerical bytes
sent/received as is displayed with the connection "Status" window. On a
LAN I like to know if I am actually sending or receiving data.
TIA
