ok, thanks for the infos..
sorry i haven't got back on this...
the saga continues..
here's the latest...
my network is a mixture of mac and pcs..
in the last 2 weeks, the speed of the macs has been dreadfull.. i have performed every test possible. i discovered recently that the pcs were getting good speeds... over 4Mb/s... the macs were 1Mb/s and below... this was through the network.. modem>netgear ata> netgear wireless router > switch for two desktops mac & pc (wired to router)
i went direct to modem with mac powerbook and got the same low speeds (between .5Mb/s and 1Mb/s) ... a PC laptop gave me 4.5Mb/s
this is very strange...
my next test is to bring the mac to a net cafe or another network and try it there. this is a new problem, it has never happened before..
any ideas? |
