[LBo] Internet connection

[Troy]

Hi all,

I installed Ubuntu 6.10 on my parents computer, and I'm having some
issues with the internet connection.  The computer is an older Dell
Dimension, and only has a pci wifi card for network connection.  

After installing Ubuntu 6.10, I was able to successfully download all
the updates.  However, when trying to browse the web, sometimes the web
pages load, other times they time out.  I've eliminated the web site
itself as the issue by trying a number of different sites and receiving
the same results.  

Prior to installing Ubuntu 6.10, this computer was running XP and was
able to connect to the internet without any problems.  Therefore,
because I was able to successfully download the updates, and browsing
was fine under XP, I think I can safely eliminate the signal strength as
the problem.  As a side note, I used the wireless connection on my lap
top in the same room, and had an excellent signal strength.

Please share any ideas or suggestions you have.

Thanks,

Troy
