Actually, yes... I have installed the Intel Pro Set Wireless drivers for Windows 7 direct from the Intel site. I also uninstalled Adobe Flash and Shockwave in case one of them was causing the issue.

Still stuck. It appears the connections to the internet are instantaneous, but the throughput is horrid.

I have no problem with internet access from my daughter's computer, so I don't believe it's the network itself.

EDIT: I think I have a clue what's going on... if I download a single file I get great speed... 147meg in just over 1 minute... however, while I'm downloading that file *every* other internet access request fails (timed out). It looks to me like my entire network interface is single threaded (one request at a time) which makes it take forever to download web pages that have lots of content, css, images, includes, etc.
