I have a problem with the connection speed. The local area connection speed
is 100Mbps but the task manager network utilization rarely goes above
0.3%.The cable modem is a motorola sb5100,the device manager says it is
working properly.I set the flow control to disabled,connection type to full
deplex,adaptive interrupt to disable and none of these were effective.I also
tried going from ethernet cable to usb and there was no change.

That's not a problem. I've got cable modem and see the same thing. You need
to remember that your connection to an ISP is usually a fraction of your
"LAN" connection.

Try this site http://performance.toast.net/ to test your speed.

Your ethernet port connects (with the modem) at 100MB/s, but your modem
connect to Internet at a speed far less than that... 3MB/s or so; hence, in
Task Manager, the Network Speed (aproximate) value - 0.03% - is your cable
connection speed as a percentage of the ethernet connection speed
(3MB/100MB). I assume the 0.3% value in your email is... a typo
Check your internet connection speed at: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
