I just recently upgraded to Windows 8 on my HP dv6z-3000 laptop. It is roughly 2 years old and has 6 gb of ram and ran windows 7 without a hitch. Everything on Windows 8 is running smoothly as well except for one issue that I have been searching for a solution for the past few days. Whenever I open chrome or any other browser, tried IE10 and Firefox as well so I don't believe it is a browser issue. It either works quickly like it used to or slows down considerably and says "sending request" with a blank page for 7 to ten seconds before opening the page. My internet speed is 14 ms ping, 51 mbps down and 66 up, so it isn't my internet speed slowing it down. I tried upgrading my realtek lan driver, and it didn't help. Uninstalled Webroot security, didn't help. Any help resolving this would be wonderful. I called HP and they said their advice would cost me $100 so that wasn't going to happen.

Have you tried changing the DNS server address in your routers settings or at IPv4 properties? IPv4 properties can be accessed through the Network and Sharing center.

Follow the link below which shows you how to do this, use the same DNS servers as the link shows which is Google's DNS at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Change your DNS Server in Windows 7 [How to] | Windows 7 | Windows Tools, Help & Guides



You might also try resetting winsock or the TCP/ IP stack by running the following two commands into an elevated command prompt.
Elevated Command Prompt - Windows 7 Forums


Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.


netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)

netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)

Is there a guide you could provide that would explain how to do that/ in all honesty I don't know how to do that, or what it is. I'm on an apartment internet so there is no router in my actual apartment it is elsewhere.

installed webroot security software but uninstalled it as I thought that may be causing an issue, I didn't do a clean install because I don't really want to lose a huge itunes library. (i don't have an external hard drive to back up to)

The ipconfig is a mess, I'm not even sure how you are trying to connect, wired or wirelessly?

It looks like you are trying to connect through the wire but you aren't getting a valid IP address so resetting your router should be done if possible. If not possible then just leaving the hosted network and disabling the two Msoft Virtual WiFi mini port adaptors may help.

What are the Microsoft Virtual WiFi adaptors being used for? There are two showing up and one of them is active for some reason.

In case you weren't aware, the virtual adaptor is only used for setting up a hosted wireless network but for some reason one of them is showing up as active which can cause connection problems.

So in your case both of the virtual adaptors should both be disabled by going into Device Manager and just right click to disable them.

In fact you may need to turn off the hosted wireless network because it appears as if you somehow turned it on by mistake. Use the following command for this: You need to type this into an elevated command prompt like before. :)

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

I use the WiFi to create a connectify hotspot for my tablet and phone. Is there a way to keep connectify running if possible? But I will try that and see if that works

I'm wondering why you didn't tell me about the connectify network when you explained about your network?

I mean leaving out information will only hurt your cause and from what I'm seeing the connectify is the cause of all problems here.

It appears as if you are trying to share the Ethernet connection through connectify which simply is not how it's supposed to work.

Connectify is meant to create a hosted wireless network but it's meant to work through a wireless connection NOT a wired one. :confused:

OH, well I will try uninstalling Connectify and disabling the wireless networks with the command and reboot. Give me a moment.

All good ! no more sending request issues after ten minutes of internet use. Thank you so much for the help, I really owe you one. Just out of curiosity is there a way to give off a wifi signal through a wired connection? or should i just use wireless tether on my android for that solution?

I arrived here with same issue, slow downloads with windows 8. I am also using connectify pro but I disagree with the statement that connectify is only wifi. The pro version which I have allows you to set up a wifi hotspot on the PC, and send that data through the cable network to the router, and I have had this set up for months with windows 7 working at very high speed. Now that I am on windows 8, I am getting less than half the speed through the internet LAN connection from my PC and that's without having connectify turned on. Interesting I read about Chrome having problems, and using speedtest.net firefox gives 26ms ping, and chrome gives 500ms ping. Both firefox and chrome give the same less than half speed download.

I figured that leaving the wireless network would clear up the problem. With more info I could have solved this with the first post. :)

I was trying to think of a way to set this up through Ethernet although it would probably require some experimentation with static IP's, subnet's etc. being typed into the IPv4 properties of the Ethernet adaptor. Maybe the connectify pro version can work for this. You might even find a way to do this using Google search for Hosted wireless network through Ethernet connection.

As it stands the connectify software and in general, hosted wireless networks aren't meant to be shared through an Ethernet connection, which is really lame because if you already have a wireless access point why on earth would someone need to created a hosted wireless network in the first place. :confused:

Yes it is, as I said I've been using connectify pro like this for months. The reason to do this is if you want to use a VPN or proxy on the PC which the router does not handle and you can tunnel/bridge it across the wifi to lan connection on the PC.

Well apparently the free version can't or it should have worked don't you think? How much is the Pro version?

The Op was trying to share out the Ethernet connection through the Virtual adaptor and create a hosted wireless network that way. You just mentioned tunneling through the wireless connection to the Ethernet port which is the opposite of what the Op was attempting to accomplish.

I won't get into the fact that the original complaint was that the Op was having a bad connection problem and never even mentioned that he was trying to use connectify to set up an uncommon and also unsupported network through his Ethernet connection.


Nothing on the connectify web site says anything about this type of connection. It also clearly states that it's made to share out a wireless connection, not wired.

I only mentioned what the software was for and how it was supposed to be used.

I did mention that it may be possible to set up a hosted wireless connection through Ethernet though it would require some manual input.

I should also mention that you don't need to use the connectify software at all in order to set up a hosted wireless network, it's just a User interface to make it a bit easier for some people to set up.

You can use simple commands to set up a hosted wireless connection though these commands are definitely not for sharing an Ethernet connection to a Virtual wireless adaptor. The link below shows you the commands.

It's interesting how obvious the answer to the question becomes when somebody has already answered it. I'd also like to see anyone else decipher that mess of an ipconfig/all and figure out exactly what is going on just by looking at it. ;)

I was using the Pro version as well, and my nexus 7 got a perfect signal, but caused the issues on the computer that was broadcasting the signal. It worked fine through ethernet on seven but for some reason causes problems on 8. Not too much of a problem though
