Guess what, browsing has been much better now. Even though slowness occured a couple of times in the last 16 hours on 802.11b, it hasnt actually halted completly once. What does it indicate?

What machine was the tcpdump run on? It was run on the client. 192.168.1.50 is my DF workstation which i ran tcpdump on. 192.168.1.40 is my server (punchyouremployer.com). 192.168.1.1 is my default gateway, 220.233.111.100 is my public IP. There is DMZ configured on the router pointing to 192.168.1.40 Petr Another tcpdump is available: http://www.punchyouremployer.com/files/tcpdump2.tgz This time I also ran ping during the slowness. I also suspect its radio. I replaced router, i replaced card. nothing seems to help. :( How do I set speed and preamble? Do i do it on the router? Petr
