[QUOTE="cowbrain, post: 917840, member: 95559"] Many thanks, chscag. I'm learning a lot and your help is much appreciated. I followed your steps - but I'm afraid I'm still running slow. Yes, they are both encrypted networks and require passwords to access them. I have the correct password entered and have access. I don't know which encryption (from your list) they are on, though. (Can I find this out?) Although, I haven't changed any settings on the machine and (sorry to repeat myself) it has a history of working well on these networks and is alone in its fault. Some ping tests have yielded different results (I'll paste them below, in case they are significant), but pages are still loading slow. However, I bought extended warranty with this Macbook. I think my package includes telephone help from Apple. (This could be the exorcist you mention!?) I'll try to look into it and call them - time permitting - and post back any reply/advice/news. Meanwhile, I will keep looking. All help is much valued and I cannot thank you enough for your time. Cheers CB [I]Here are the results of some successful and some unsuccessful pings - taken in succession.[/I] [B]ping has started ...
