I'm running a home network

All of the other computers are running fine except my daughter's.

I've redone the cat-5 connector on her cable and even checked it with a
tester her internet is connecting but a less than 1k/sec which is not
acceptable for the usually internet chat,music and what ever she uses
her computer for.

I checked the firewall and that does not seem to be the problem.

any suggestions?

fixed it

turned off the onboard network and installed a netgear that was sitting
around

don't know if the onboard was bad but it seems to be working now
