Internet Explorer runs slooooow

[Thundaar2000]

I have a wireless setup 80211G in my house with 4 desktops wired, a printer wired, and 2 laptops wireless. All works fine with those computers.
When I use wifi on my vx6700, IE runs so slow it is ridicules. It says 'locating' for 32 seconds (yes it's always 32 seconds) then goes to the page. For example my home page which takes 32 seconds to start loading, is www.google.com/pda and when I go from there to wap.mlb.com it still takes another 32 seconds to start loading. I know the connection is fast because I use wififofum and I downloaded the new version 350KB in like 5 seconds.
I do notice that while in the cradle, it only has about a 2-3 second delay which would be fine if it was like that out of the cradle!
I have looked for any settings I could change but whatever I do does nothing.

* UPDATE *
I went to a friends house and connected to his wifi and all worked perfectly! No wait time at all! Just the way it should be. He has no encryption on his wifi network. I use wep. I went home and tried disabeling wep. I still have the 32 to 35 second delay before the page loads.
I at least know it is somewhere in my network and not my 6700!

Anyone out there have any ideas as to why I have this delay???

I'll take a stab -- dns? what are all of your pcs on the wireless using for DNS? Are they static ip or DHCP?

[Thundaar2000]

Well I'm not sure. I just chose the ssid of my router entered the 10 digit wep key, and all worked fine with the laptops. In my 6700, all 8 of the network adapters are set to obtain ip automatically.

How would I check the wireless laptops to see static or dhcp?

OK I just figured that out. Everything is DHCP. I went to the router setup and looked at network details, then each device details.

I started the 6700 wifi and that too is DHCP

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.

OK this is good, maybe I can actually figure this out with all your help....

1) tried pinging this is what I got for stats
sent: 100
rec: 99
lost: 1
approx round trip:
min: 2 ms
max: 907 (there was only one above 4 ms)
average: 12

I tried typing in the ip of my printer into PIE (on my 6700) and it came up instantly with the stat and maintenance page.

2)Tried different locations around the house. Most always signal strength was all the way up to good. Even tried 3 feet from router. Same 34 second wait.

3) couldn't figure out how to get the ip address of a website??? would like to try this next. Got one I could try? ppcgeeks.com maybe?
How do I check what dns server all my other computers use?

[Thundaar2000]

I did try entering an IP address and it did seem to work perfectly. So now I need to check the DNS server.... where is that info?

Found the info in my router stats
gateway mac address
wan Ip address
subnet mask
Gateway IP
DNS address 1
DNS address 2

Should I enter some of this into the phone somewhere?
