My connection seems to be too slow. I tried to register with a few sites. All of them failed. So i went for a speed test at speedtest.net.

The results:

Ping - 419 ms
Download speed - 0.36 Mbps

Then it waited infinitely and at last came up with this error.

Upload test error

Upload test returned an error while trying to read the upload file.

It is just today. Why is it like this?

I use UL 750 and Modem : Nokia Siemens C 2110.

Try a mini test uses about 5 MB

meetdilip

It says 213 kbps. I tried to upload a jpeg file to tinypic and picasa. Both failed.

Just now i tried attaching a jpeg to IBF. Was trying since morning without success.

Latest:
Tried mini test again,

Download speed 382 kbps,

Did you speak to your ISP for same problem.

Please try to restart your connection after rebooting your connection device.

If there is no packet movement then it will not let you to connect or to open any webpage which is not the case here.

meetdilip

Now it shows

Fatal error

Error message here.

But no message. It is still trying to connect speedtest.net

I use sygate firewall. I clicked exit and tried to upload a jpeg image. Done is seconds. What to do?

I installed firewall only yesterday night.

Can I solve this keeping my firewall ON.

jatinder911

instead of waiting here and confusing why don't log a complaint to BSNL.

meetdilip

It seems to be realted to firewall. I have to find a way keeping it ON and solve this problem.

I already have allow for Firefox & Google Chrome. And I tried all this in these browsers. So is the case with Flock.

Yes firewall programs generaly disturbs internet connection. I faced such type of problem earlier

@meetdilip
Is this related to above problem you have reported elsewhere ?
Do you have a wifi setup ?
Allow file in firewall.
Para two:

meetdilip

I tried disabling it. But it doesn't seems to have an effect.

essbebe

Please continue this file problem in windows forum.
( assuming you tried to disable the file but failed. )

Update on your connection problem.

Download Anvir Task Manager Free
see ram usage etc.

meetdilip

I successfully disabled the wireless driver. But still unable to upload images or register forms.

Connection problem persists and is related to upload.

I have installed the software. Please specify if there is any particular details you want me to share here.

essbebe

can you upload a small *.jpg picture as annexure or
insert the picture here in this forum.
presume unable to upload in tinypic imageshack etc.

Anvir gives you all details of processes applications etc. for analysis.

In your modem check any page like this
access control
http://i6.tinypic.com/6ur7rd3.jpg.

I can upload images to IBF only when I disable the firewall. I have disabled the firewall and everything is ok and I can upload this image.

Disable/uninstall the present firewall (sygate) version. download fresh.

Recommended site for download.
filehippo.com. ( about 10 to 12 free F/W programs available )

Download any other lean Firewall and try.
Zone Alarm is also good,
but I am using
1. Sunbelt Personal Firewall. ( reduced options )
(Trial full version for 30 days available at their web site.)

2.Also Antivir PE premium . ( 6 months free offer
posted in this forum or elsewhere valid till July 2009 )

3. Windows Firewall disabled.

Para two ;
Presume speed is back to normal.

meetdilip

Thanks. Will update you soon.

Yes

I used comodo earlier, it resets my network settings to 169....... instead of 192.168........ I cannot access net even if i disable or uninstall the firewall. I had to reinstall windows twice. Then i used zone alarm free. It does not allow to manipulate any of the settings. Then went for NIS, some program was downloading heavily and i have no clue which it is. In my Bitmeter it shows downloading but cannot find out which one. I had no option but to switch off the modem. So I changed to sygate. Now it is like this. Till I find a solution i have to disable the firewall for these activities. I thought of not using any firewall. But I use utorrent. So won't it be risky?

Just now I disabled the Windows firewall and tried to upload. But it failed. Is peer guardian a good firewall. Please give your suggestions.

Ashampoo firewall. Is it a good one?

Just installed Ashampoo. It lacks ask option. ie, we can either block or allow. Like others it doesn't have ask. Or am I missing something.
