    Win 2000 and cable modems..

    What are the system requirements for a cable modem ??

    Is there a way to optimize Windows 2000 for faster internet connections with a cable modem? According to my ISP I have surpassed their requirements to have a cable modem, however this connection is slow... just wondering if running Windows 2000 is the bottleneck ??

    How is the modem connected to your PC - USB or RJ-45?

    Are you sure you're using a standard patch cable? A crossover may work, but slowly.
