Slow downloads on cable modem

[Ted Bundy]

Hi!

I'm running 2 Sony Viaos on a wireless LAN through my cable modem. One
downloads screamingly fast -- 300+ Kbps and the other, newer, faster machine
can only manage about 40 Kpbs. Any ideas as to how to make the slow machine
catch the other one?

Thanks in advance!

Bob

goto the forums and browse. You will find the answers.

Good Luck
Bill
