Hi,
I've just got a UHF connection at home, and it's causing me no end of hassle. I'll try list everything pertinent, but this area isn't really my forte, so if I leave something out let me know and I'll address it...
The UHF connects directly into my old Toshiba (Windows XP) laptop, and I connect to the Toshiba through a wireless network (no router, just a network that I assume is created by the Toshiba) with this laptop, an Acer Travelmate (Vista). The internet on the Acer runs at about a third of the speed of the Toshiba, even though the apparent wireless connection of 100Mbs is well above the download speed ceiling. No idea why. The 2 computers are about 3 foot apart. Surely that's not right, and if not, how do I fix it?
Also, I cannot connect the UHF directly to the Acer - when I put in the exact same IP and gateway and subnet numbers as in the Toshiba, Vista pops up telling me that running multiple gateways across networks is a bad idea. I had no idea I was doing this, and would stop if I knew how.
Thirdly, the connection seems to get worse over time, on both machines. Time in this case being a couple of hours. Seems to help if I turn off the UHF modem, and reboot both computers. This is tedious in the extreme.
So far it's not been the pleasant surfing experience I was hoping for!
any idea's as to wtf is wrong and how I could fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
