Im at university and in the halls the internet works via a proxy.
I have set up my browser settings etc. correctly (auto detect) and it has been working properly the majority of the time.
Lately it has loaded pages extremely slowly and downloads have gone down from their usual 100kb/s + to 5kb/s or worse!
So far I have tried the following:
i also did the useless vista network diagnosis thing.
it has happened once before and i think i fixed it by doing a system restore, but now for some reason there is no restore points there.
thanks in advance for any suggestions
[edit] LAN gaming still seems to work fine if that makes any difference

So far I have tried the following:
- tried a different cat cable
- tried a different wall socket from another persons room (ruling out the port)
- resetting the VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter
- reinstalling VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter
- updating VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter to latest version
- tweaked the driver settings (although not sure what im doing, just experimented !)
- temporarily disabled firewall
- temporarily disabled anti virus
