Angry slow connection through my new Router

Hi,

Im wondering if anyone can help me,

I have NTL Broardband through a set top box and i have just installed a DLink 604 Router to share the internet on 2 machines in the house.

I have an internet connection, but windows reports the internet connection speed to be between 800 bps and 1Kbps !

The router has a firewall built in which i cant seem to turn off, could this be the cause? or is there something i have not done right?

Are there any particular settings you must enter to get the connection working properly?

All i did to get it working was set up the broardband connection through the first PC without the router installed,
Then Setup the router and set up a home network on both machines (they now see each other).
I set both machines to obtain their IP's automatically also, does all this sound right?

if anyone can help i would very much appreciate it!

Thanks

Neil
