Hi Paul
to the forum.
first thing I'd say would be uninstall correct connect, in my opinion it is more trouble than it's worth. The speed test available from
http://www.vantage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/v2/v2.htm
is better. If you do the test paste the results in here for us to have a look at. There is also a, less comprehensive, speed test available as a link from the front page of the forum.
Second thing is that connecting with an ethernet card (NIC) is preferable to USB, even on a good spec pc.
