    i have a new dell e1505. i have pc-cillin 2006 installed. the OS is win XP media center. my problem is that the laptop has considerably slower download speed than the much older desktop that it replaced, on the exact same wireless connection. does anyone have any suggestions as to what "tweaks" or settings adjustments i can make to get better DL speeds from the laptop? i have tried with and without the firewall being on.
