Hi, I hope this post is ok for this group. Here's my deal:
I have two computers on my LAN at home. One desktop. One laptop. Both computers are wireless enabled (and wired enabled too). I have running a fairly simple HTTP server (written in python) that i can run on either computer. When the computers are wired, everything is cool, no matter which computer is the server. But when the computers are wireless, it does matter which computer is the server. If the laptop is the server, the server is super slow at serving pages. If the desktop is the server, then everything's fine (i.e. fast). Here are the conditions i tested the server under. 1) Laptop wired, client Desktop wired, server GREAT! webpage served in 2 seconds 2) Laptop wired, server Deskop wired, client GREAT! webpage served in 2 seconds 3) Laptop wireless, client Desktop wireless, server GREAT! webpage served in 2 seconds 4) Laptop wireless, server Desktop wireless, client CRAP! webpage served in 90 seconds What the heck is happening? What could be causing the slowdown in only one direction? Specifically, why is the server so slow when the laptop is wireless, but not when the desktop is wireless? And computer speed cannot matter here, right, since, in the wired conditions, both computers performed equally. The server is almost entirely based on the server found at: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/259148 If anyone has a clue, please tell.
