Use an FTP program to upload a large file to your server and if you don't have one Rick, then download a trial of a program like http://www.cuteftp.com/cuteftppro/

Make sure though that you really go on the internet, not even typing http://xxx.no-ip.info guarentees that you're indeed on the internet (I won't go into detail, rather technical).

I say that, because it's possible that when you're trying to connect to a web server using a client on the same local network (if you use one) that you might see some amazing speeds!    That's because instead of your signal being routed to the internet, it will go straight to the server and in that case only the local network bandwidth is the limiting factor.
