I hava a pro-star laptop.  I went for a cheapo brand...  BIG MISTAKE...  for
the record NEVER buy a pro-star laptop.  Their tech support sucks and I've
had to hack the heck out of it just so the harddrive won't burn out every 3
months.  Anyway, here is the spec for it 

466 celeron
128M ram
ati rage lt pro 
20g hd (dual boot with win2000)
2 usb
2 pcmcia type 2
I don't know the chipset 
got it the summer of 1999

I box pings fine under windows so I don't think it's the dns.
and the ping lag is for both computers on the lan and on the internet

any clues?

thanx

What brand of laptop and pcmcia ethernet card are you
working with?  Have you checked the hub port and ethernet
cable?
