Hello,

I have a Compaq laptop connected through RJ45 to an Internet ADSL
modem. This same laptop shares its internet connection with a Dell
laptop.

Everything works fine and the connection is pretty stable. For
instance, I can make pretty long calls on Skype from the Dell with no
problems.

The problem is that when the download charge gets high, for instance,
when I download some file from a rapid web server, or when I load a
heavy web page, the connection breaks after a few seconds. Then the
network reconnects instantly, but if I restart the download, it fails
again. It seems to me that the problem occurs when the download speed
gets above something like 100 ko/sec.

Any clues ? If not, is it possible to limit the download speed to
prevent the loss of connection ?

Please help ! Thanks
