While watching youtube videos on my Thinkpad A31 the videos, pause, jump or reload. This machine has a 1gig memory and my hard drive is a little under 1/2 full.

Now on my T40 Thinkpad with 512 memory and with the hard drive only a 1/4 full it blows right thru the youtube videos.No pauses or stops whatsoever.

What could cause this on my A31...........Is this a wireless issue, hardware issue????????

2. I have one laptop that has WEP/WAP and the other only has WEP.....Can I use WAP on one and WEP on the other, or just WEP on both wirelessly.

Thanks for any advice.....

i do have that on my desktop
currently i haven;t solved yet
but you can try the dmz settings on your comp
it helps. also if you suspect keys then try it without the keys (disable keys)
i don;t think it is hardware since you can do some web surf or other

if you are using mix hadware 11b & 11g at the same time yes. Some hardware has problems switching back in forth. And 11b may have problems streaming the clip.
