There is the wired desktop and max. 3 laptops/wifi-phones at the same time. The telefonica router does (did?) it's job good enough for me.
However, there's a friend moving house in a few days and then I can try if my problem persists using his router/cable... and then I look further...
I'll let the list know.
Meanwhile I'll train my social skills, just in case. Happy to have Chile-Spain tomorrow, because there's space in the street cafés and my usual male competitors sit in the restaurants in front of a screen forgetting even the nicest minifaldas close to them - my advantage...

You haven't answered my question whether your LAN is connected to the onboard chip in your computer or to a (PCI/PCIe) NIC in the computer. Either one could be playing up causing you your problem.

Sorry Basil, it is connected to the onboard chip, which is a RTL 8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller by Realtek (thats what KDE Info-Center says...)
Daniel
Thanks Daniel. As my earlier post states the chip on my mobo stopped working a couple of days after installation and I replaced it with a PCI (in my case a PCIe) NIC. The cost of such a card is less than a packet of cigarettes (if you smoke, and are living here in Australia!). Get yourself a gigabit NIC card which may solve your problem. If it does not solve the problem then at least you have gone some way to determine, at a VERY small price (a NIC is now peanuts to buy) that the problem is not in the onboard chip or the NIC and so we must look at the cable and, progressing up the line, at the modem/router. But first things first so start with installing a NIC. I won't mention any brand names as the same brand is sold under different names in different countries - but when buying make sure that it suits your motherboard: PCI or PCIe, and that your m/board has an available slot for it.
