Very Slow Internet Connection

Hi All,

I just upgraded a PIII to Windows XP Home with a clean install.
However, when I try go online at work the speed is slower than dial-up.
I know it's not the network because the computer that I am replacing, a
PII with Windows ME, is much faster online. I don't believe that I have
any ad/spyware, viruses, etc. The PIII worked fine at home on my DSL
line, so I am thoroughly confused. Are there any settings that I should
check? Thanks.
