I am using a Dell Latitude Laptop - I most oftern log on to a network at
work....I installed a wireless router for at home use and now when I log in
to my computer at home and work, it is taking a good 5 minutes (and it is a
breand new computer). At work it recognizes the wireless router there right
away. At home, it can not renew the IP address immediately, but eventually
does after loggining on. This issue started when I enable security for the at
home router. Something is not right, I am just not sure what. I looked at the
event log and there are several errors (that don;t mean much to me).
Any help would be gretly appreciated.
