Hello again everyone, First, I want to thank all those who have contributed to the unravelling of this server-slow-down mystery. But unfortunately, either:
1) i have not made my point clear about what my question is 2) i do not understand the responses given So, let me briefly reiterate what the mystery is. (i am assuming that readers have read most of my first post above). I have two computers and a server program (written in python). Both computers are on my home lan (using a linksys wifi router). HERE IS THE MYSTERY: The server runs fast when one computer is the server, but slow when the other computer is the server. How can this be, given that this asymmetry does not exist when both computers are wired. Please let me know if you need any more information, Thanks again to all who have been helping with this, jojoba -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
