177839 2003-09-25 07:30:00 What OS do you have on the desktop & laptop??? stu140103 (137)
177840 2003-09-25 08:59:00 Yes there is. You can either use a proxy based program, or Internet Connection Sharing (assuming you have WinME or above running on the desktop). ICS would be the better option in the sense that it acts as a gateway for the laptop and all connections can go through in comparison to a proxy which you will manually have to configure on the laptop and some programs (MSN Messenger to name one) have problems accessing the internet through Proxies.

I assume it doesn't take this long on the desktop to load pages? How is your network setup? Laptop connects to the desktop with a crossover cable? Sharing files on your network isn't slow? What have you specified as your DNS Servers and DNS Host on the laptop?
Also, have you run a trace route on a website to see where the bottleneck in the connection is?
