Q: Why did my Internet connection suddenly get so slow

I have powerbook g3 that for some reason in the last month got really slow when connecting wirelessly to the net. Another laptop we have works fine wirelessly. I have four bars in my menu. I ran it through diskwarrior, repaired permissions, tried a different browser. so far nothing has helped. the computer itself works fine.

thanks for any suggestions,

jeff

    Some ideas:

    1. Perhaps it's your browser. Easy to check that, just try a different one.

    2. Which OS are you running? If it is OS X, try creating a new user and see if that makes a difference.

    thanks for the suggestion. it's definitely not the browser. I tried two others, same issue. I also tried a new user. It might have been a little quicker, but perhaps that was just my hopeful imagination.

    I have a feeling it's the wireless adapter. Can anyone suggestion a replacement for my Asante Aerolan that will work with the G3?

    thanks again,
