What difference is there between your PC connection to the network and your laptop connection?

I'm not sure how to answer. My PC goes directly into the modem and my laptop is wireless. I wish I had a better answer.

I would look for a newer driver for the wireless card in your laptop. Without knowing the vendor and model, I can't be more specific.

I tried to remain child-like, all I achieved was childish.

Does your PC have an *ethernet* connection to your router, or does your PC create a DSL connection to your ISP via a modem and then shares an internet connection?

If the former, then patch your laptop into the router and see if your laptop continues to have the problem over a wired connection.

Thanks, Vince and Jimbo.

Jimbo, my laptop is a Toshiba and my driver for the wireless is an Atheros AR8151/8158. Where would I get an updated driver? Do you have to pay for it or is it something Windows or Toshiba site would provide as a download?

Vince, my PC has an *ethernet* connection to the router. I will try to patch my laptop directly to the router and see what happens.

I sure appreciate you guys helping me with this. Larry

Without knowing the model or OS, I can't get you closer than this http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/js...

By The way that seems to be the wired network port, not wifi http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/media/product/product_...
