How do you determine that your internet access has slowed? I determined it like this. I have a laptop connected by wireless to the router about 15 feet from the router, and we have DSL, and my laptop loads standard popular pages like cnn.com quickly and easily, within about 15 seconds. On my desktop with my new SUSE installation, it has a CAT5 cable, 35 m in length, connecting to the same router. My location for the desktop is about 30m away from the router, through several walls, so that is why I ran the cable. It takes 2-3 minutes to load the same page on cnn.com that it takes my laptop 15 seconds to load.
Is it a hardware problem or a software problem? Does your daughter's laptop work when it is connected to that cable? Does your desktop work properly when it is running some other operating system?
Also, when my new SUSE installed desktop is on and connected, my daughter cannot connect her macintosh laptop by wireless to our router. But as soon as I turned off my SUSE linux installation, her macintosh laptop connected right up.
How are IP addresses assigned? That could be a conflict with both machines somehow being given the same address. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
