You can try a couple of things.
1) try to ping you're PPCfrom a pc, from the CMD line try "ping -c 100 <ip_addr>" where ip_addr = the IP of your PPC this will send out 100 ping packets to your PPC. when it finishes it will give a breakdown showing ping time avg, min, max, and packet loss. if your min max and average are far apart, or your packet loss is high, it indicates that you have a network issue between your PPC and router at the most basic level (ping between computers that work fine to establish a fair baseline for your network)
2)place a laptop in exatly the same spot as the ppc, or vise versa. it can be quite likely that they signal is just verry low where you are trying to use the PPC.
3)Try to connect to a webserver via IP address rather than by name, if it comes up at a resonable speed than the PPC is having issues contacting its DNS server. Check to see if it is the same DNS server your other computers are, or if it using another.
Let us know what you find out.
