ok here is the problem, my mates computer has been showing "limited or no connectivity" on her local area connection for some time now..
ive searched for an answer but i cant find one.. because everones problems are to do with networks
here are the facts:
no router/network
internet is plugged directly into computer
can connect to internet but its very slow.. especially downloads.. for example.. on broadband a 200mb file will take 11 hours
she has windows xp SP2
so any help with this would be greatly appreciated
