I'm hoping to get some help/advice with the following problem. I have an intel based MacBook running OS 10.4.11. Up until very recently, it has been working just fine on the wireless network here and also when connected straight into the LAN.
Recently however, its has become very show on the netowrk - both when on wireless and connected via cable. The other computers here (3 PC's) are not experiencing any problems accessing webpages and with file transfers internally.
The problem is that when you try and access a website it takes ages to find the page, saying "looking up....". When it eventually does find the site, the access is chronically slow. This is very frustrating and there's no explanation to it, since all other computers on the network are fine. I recently re-installed the OS all all applications on the Mac, since it was getting a bit clogged up and in the hope that this will cure the problem.
The only recent changes I have made to the network is the addition of a Draytec Vigor 2950 Security VPN Router that sits between the ADSL modem and switch. This has not effected any of the other computers on the network.
Can anybody give me pointers as to what the hell the likely cause of this is?
Many thanks, Dan
