Hey there,
If anyone knows of a tool I could use to diagnose this, I'd appreciate
this.
Running XP on two computers. One laptop, one desktop, both HP, both
wireless broadband.
The laptop, if I lose connection to the internet, I can just reconnect
easily, and within about 10 seconds using "View available wireless
Networks".
However, on the desktop, even after a fresh startup, four out of five
times, I can try to connect, again and again, with no luck. Try
repair, try disable/enable, try connect, no luck. Restart, see if it
picks it up automatically... nothing, try again, restart.
Both computers show 4-5 green bars in the connect window.
When I do eventually get on the desktop, I have strength of good to
excellent. However, no matter what the strength, access times for any
site, in Firefox or IE is extremely slow. A page that takes 3 seconds
to access and render on the laptop will take several minutes to come up
on the desktop, if at all. It is really unusable at this point.
I think this problem started within the last month. The only change
I've made recently was to install Norton AV 2006, which I uninstalled
as a test today, with no change.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
