Thread: Wireless network gurus - please help!

check the duplex settings on your wireless card and your desktop, if its set to auto try setting it to 100mb Full. Sometime NIC's/ routers don't talk to each other correctly and they continously try to negotiate what speed to run, which slows you down.

drag a file from your desktop computer to the laptop and see if its slow, if it is and fails to copy over, your internal network is screwed and you should look at that first, then investigate the internet problem later.

and get rid of norton, that thing is nasty.

Ok...so I am slooowly working through this!

Razzor
Virtual Server is currently disabled on the router.

BTW - through sheer laziness I have not "networked" the 2 computers I was just using the wireless as a means for the laptop to access the internet, so cannot "see" the laptop on the desktop and vice versa.

I haven't identified a page where the D-Link says how many IP addresses its giving out.

i have had simliar problems one things i did want to ask though

whats the telstra heartbeat????

Microsoft Vista.. The best advertisement for buying an Apple Macintosh computer. I have three computers wirelessly hooked up to a network, without a problem. They just seem to work.

Good luck sorting it out.
