Well, I have been working on this thing all day. I have taken the wireless
Intel adapter out and reinstalled everything using the latest drivers from
Dell. None of that seemed to do any good. I finally went to the Intel site
and found a driver and controller for the unit and installed that. The
latest ping was in the 4-5 ms range, which is where I expected it to be.
I checked the power setting and it was set at max performance. I did not
actually check the speed, but if I could ping this new laptop and get and
230ms return and then ping an old Compaq with a linksys WPC11 Wireless card
and get 4-5 ms, I knew something wasn't right with Intel Pro/Wireless LAN
2100 3A Mini PC Adapter.
I may have had some setting wrong, or maybe there were too many controllers
on the card, but I will go with the Intel drivers solving the problem. I
will try moving some files tomorrow, but hopefully it won't take me 10
minutes to move a few mp3 files.
Thanks,
Clark
