More info --- problem narrow down a little.... Its actually no response some times.... what is happening is when a page is loading from the internet site and before it is fully loaded you select something on the page to go to that is when the hang occurs.... If i wait until the entire page is loaded then everything is ok.. The problem occurs now because Im on a 802.11b connection wireless cpu and response it a lot slower then being connected direct to the modem and router.... Any ideas? Im sure i can hit something before the entire page is on the screen... Cant I?

Why not just get a cat 5 cable and simply plug into the router instead of using the b adapter as it's older anyway.

Thats a 40 ft cable runniing thru the house.. I dont have a craw space or a basement. The problem now seems to me to be a system software problem. If i hit the enter key before my entire screen is available i hang up..... Anybody heard of this kinda problem.... I guess now i should report this in a different area... Im not positive now its a networking problem but that does bring it on since my transmission is a lot slower now......

I just wondered, because the way it was worded, it sounded like the pc was next to the router and that's what you had problems with. My mistake, lol. You might try a G or N adapter. B is a pretty old standard, and may drag the rest of your network down as well. You should be able to find one cheap on newegg.
