Thanks for > any considerations, Ric This could be due to a number of factors. Firstly I would make sure you're both using the same dns servers or think about setting up a caching dns server to run locally. This would speed up connect time considerably since it can find the ip address of whatever you're connecting to in a much shorter amount of time (given that you've already accessed that dns name before). Next thing to check would be the hardware in your system. Do you have a comparable system as far as processor ram etc as your roommate? Having a whole lot of extensions on your web browser could also be slowing you down as could other stuff running in the background. You may even want to try out a different web browser like Opera or Dillo and see if you notice a difference in speed there. Good luck with speeding it up. -Jared
