If I connect my DSL cable directly into my Dell E310 Windows XP computer I get the advertised rates of over 1.5 Mbps download. But when I connect the DSL cable into my router and the router to my PC via an Ethernet cable and port, I get significantly slower speeds. I believe I have the latest firmware. I have also cleared the network cache via Network Connections -> LAN->Properties-> TCP/IP-> Repair.
What else could I do? I feed my ISP is making changes to their software or configuration without informing the users.

Gunja,
MTU was set to 1492 previously. I changed nothing except reconnected the cables and rebooted and the speed (as tested via speakeasy.net/speedtest) is above spec. Nevertheless I have had the speed degenerate for no particular reason several times in the last week. Maybe this is an issue to address with my ISP.
Thanks for your help.

Turns out my problems were due to the ISP doing maintenance and making upgrades during the day. I should work for them - we only do maintenance after 10 pm.
