Andy,

Sounds like your Wireless here.

Go to Network Connections in Control Panel.

Hit apps  key on Wireless network.

Cursor to and select Status.

Read the screen with jaws/window eyes mouse cursor.

What speed is the signal at?

Hi all -

I'm just downloading RealPlayer10 on to my laptop using my wireless network, as it's required for the BBC I player. Although I have ADSL broadband, it is
only downloading at 6.5 kb per sec. Obviously, this is ridiculously slow,
and is taking a 12mb file probably over an hour to download.

Anybody know why this is so slow? It's the first download I've made for the
laptop on the network, so wondering if it is a settings issue, but can't
think what! Is wireless usually slower than wired when downloading? -

Andy
