[jaws-uk] Browsing problems

Hi all

This is not strictly JAWS related, but perhaps someone has had this problem too 
and can help me. Off list is fine if anyone wants to contact me.

I am on BT Broadband and have a wireless router. The router is connected to the 
PC by a cable and when I turn on the laptop it tells me it is connected to my 
wireless network and that the signal is excellent. However, the laptop is 
taking for forever to open links and nine times out of ten I don't get anywhere 
at all. It comes up with the message "Internet Explorer can not open the 
webpage", And on the desktop I often get "Cannot find server". As far as the 
desktop is concerned, I switch the router off and on again and it's fine in a 
couple of minutes. This might happen once or more a day but some days doesn't 
happen at all. However, I can't use the laptop for more than five minutes 
without this happening and there is no way to get it going again. 

So all seems to be connected to the wireless network, but won't open pages or 
does so very slowly. Any ideas what this is? Is it IE? The phone line? It's 
really beginning to frustrate me as I can't download anything to the laptop as 
the connection drops during the download and just doing something simple online 
takes forever!

I'd really appreciate any advice given.

Barbara
