excuse my last response, just realised this thread is about your Airport network. Sounds to me like a quality of signal/noise issue. I am getting pretty good file transfers over 802.11b but I have had awful speeds in the past. You might need to download a 3rd party tool to determine the signal/noise ratio on your wireless network etc. Also you can now buy handheld tools for about $50 to make measurements. The interference form other devices is a possibility, 2.4GHz is very much the public radio band. Also try doing a hard reboot of your basestation. -- T
