What's up fellas,

I am back, but with a problem this time. I purchased a new 2.4 15" MBP on Friday and set everything up this weekend. I am running a dual OS system with Vista on a 60GB partition via bootcamp. Everything was as smooth as butter yesterday; however, today I am experiencing periodic network slowdowns. When I say slowdowns, I mean pages will not even load it takes so long. This problem is happening in Safari and IE, so it appears to be a cross platform issue. I have ran several speedtests on my desktop during the MBPs slowdowns and my connection out is solid. I also checked the web from my iphone during the slowdown and it was speedy as usual.

I can see my network when on the Vista side, yet the slowdowns persists at a frequency of every 20-30 minutes, lasting for 10-15 minutes at a time. Then I switched to OSX and Safari and the symptoms are mirrored. I actually was running a speedtest in Safari and watched my download meter go from 9K down to 1KB, then the page just got stuck. I have checked, triple checked, and quadruple checked my network and everything seems in sync.

My setup consists of a Linksys router WRT54G running the latest firmware, a Vista desktop, and my MBP running Vista Business and Leopard 10.5.2 I have Googled this problem and found several hits with users who have a problem similar to mine, however, I could not find any solutions. One more bit, when I witnessed that drastic speedtest slowdown earlier and during the other slowdowns on the OSX side, my Airport card temp goes up in the 60's, 67 being the highest via istat. When my connection is smooth the same temp reading is in the 30's. Any help would be great,

p.s. I am posting thing from my desktop since the net on my new MBP is unusable at the moment!
