Hi again Istvan, Good suggestion. I have tried another server and it works flawlessly, regardless of the computers being wireless or wired. Excellent. However, i am still intrigued as to why the server is fast when both computers are wireless and the desktop is the server (while the laptop is the client), but slow when both computers are wireless and the desktop is the client (while the laptop is the server). I guess i am just curious as to what possible thing (most likely in software, as we have discovered) could cause this assymetry.
Thanks for any ideas, jojoba -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
