That has nothing to do with speed. Click start and get into your control panel where it says C: or D: depending on your make and model Right click and hit properitys, Thats your space. Now open up your control panel again and look for a icon called System, click it, thats everything you need to know about your computer speed.

Go to My Network Places, then depending on your operating system (i'm assuming you're using Windows XP, doesn't matter if its professional or home edition, 32 or 64bit..etc) Look on the left hand side of the box, and under the tab of Network Tasks, you'll see something that says "View network connections"\n\nClick on that and Viola! Your answer awaits =]

what OS are you using? if you are using windows XP you can access this information by going to Start->Control Panel->Network Connections and you will see the connection you have for your dial up. Double click on the connection and you should be able to see the connection speed, the ip address and your routable DNS server.\n\nTo have this show when you are connected right click on the connection goto properties and check show icon in notification area when iam connected.

Check and see if you have an 'Internet Accelerator'.  Programs that promise to speed up your connection will do so, at the cost to your graphics.

DSL reports speed test:\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/stest\n\nMany things affect your bandwidth though. Usually the Cable/DSL modem is your only real limiter, but if your computer has spyware/nagware installed, that'll make your connection feel slower. \n\nTry downloading microsoft Anti-Spyware, ad-aware, and many other tools to fix your computer. I'm a fan of trend-micro pc-cillan which comes with virus software and all the anti-spyware software too. \n\nYou didn't install Kazaa did you? ;-)\n\nIf you have kids, they can install programs from the internet that install malware.

you want to control your download speed ?\n--get download accelerator plus from download.com and set the bandwidth control to limited and speacify the number.\n\nor \n\nyou want to see how much you have downloaded over a course of a time ?\n---download bitmeter 2.0 \n\nhttp://codebox.no-ip.net/controller?page=bitmeter2\n\ncheck the history option and it will tell your history how much you have downloaded and at what rate!\n\nor \n\nyou don't want any people to download anything from the internet and only allow them to browse the internet ?\n\nyou need to talk to a systems administrator ... i am a programmer and i can't remember now how to do this but ..i am sure it is something with the registry.

If you have the machine they are downloading from then you can just do a netstat to see where the connections are coming from.\n\nIf you do not know where they are downloading from then you will need to get a program like ethereal (packet analyzer) and set it up on a port on your switch that sees all local traffic.  It will record all of the traffic and provide analysis to show where the traffic is coming from.

Nope, Connection speed shares when some computer is receiving or sending something. Like opening a website is Receiving and sending an e-mail is... sending.

You must install the Bandwidth meter. You could also try a network traffic analyser instead.

If you reboot (restart) your system everyday, then you can goto connections and double click on your internet connection icon.\n\nFor example if you connect to internet using ethernet/lan connecion then just double click on the icon on the task back and look at the duration it would show you total time its been connected.
