Internet connectivity issues?
My computer (2007 HP Pavillion) has recently been having connectivity issues. It will connect to any wireless network, or local area network, but the speed of surfing is embarrassing. It took 10 minutes to load the Comcast.net home page. Even P2P file sharing is limited to about 1.5kbps download. And this is with COMCAST, man. The rest of the devices on my network run at a smooth speed, though.
I've uninstalled any programs I've downloaded, and tried a system restore. I've run virus scans, spyware scans, and file cleaners. I have tried everything I can think of, including messing with internet options and getting programs that tweak it to maximum efficiency. Nothing has worked.
Are there any suggestions how to fix this?

If I understand you correctly, this is happening over both wired and wireless connections?
If it's happening on both, then the issue is most likely not in the communications adapters
So here's a list of checks, ideas and stray thoughts - hope they help
How much disk space do you have? - <2GB - your in trouble
When was the last time you defragged the hard drive? < all red, your dead
Does the whole computer run slow or just when you are surfing? If the whole thing is slow - then maybe it's time for a reload
How many anti-virus programs are you running? You just want 1
any malware scanners? Same for those
What is your processor load look like? is something stealing cpu cycles?
Read/write times to disk slow? Hard drive controller issues? run some tests using the Ultimate Boot Disk (free on the web)
What's your memory? Have you checked that you don't have a SIMM unseated or bad? Do a full memory check
Good Luck

some issues to attempt: a million) verify which you haven't accidently clicked the "artwork off line" - examine kit - uncheck artwork offline 2) Open the command instantaneous - start up/upload-ons- Command instantaneous - type in: ipconfig. Did you spot your IP quantity? If no longer then you quite are actually not being assigned one - would desire to be your ISP - would desire to be your NIC card. additionally examine the Ethernet cable that comes out of your router on your computing gadget - on the two ends.
