Before you continue reading this, assuming you even do, I would like to state that my knowledge of networking is extremely limited. That said, I would appreciate all the help you folks can offer. Here it goes:
I am currently deployed, therefore the connection to the internet is horrible. I am looking for ways to increase my connectivity. While looking at the network settings on my computer (running Vista) I noticed that I am connected to three different networks, 2 with the same title and one Untitled, save for in parenthesis it bears the same name as the other two.
All three have access listed as Local and Internet. In order to attempt to remedy the situation (thinking this could be a cause to the slow connection) I went into the properties and disabled IPv6. This dropped two of the connections and still allowed me to connect to the internet. Alas, there was no noticeable difference in my connection. I reset the change and went to disable IPv4, the outcome was what I figured it would be, no connection to the internet only local, so I reset change two.
Is there anything that I could attempt to do that would increase my connectivity, bearing in mind I have shut down all programs that I know search for various items (updates and such) via the web. I also tried to talk to the network gurus at the camp with no luck (a language bearer makes things difficult to do this).
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.
