    Today I installed a Netgear wireless 802.11b router, model MR814 v2.
    $10 after rebate at Staples, and now I can finally use my
    wireless-enabled XP laptop in my living room.

    So my new setup is:

    Desktop FC2 (192.168.0.2, wired) --> router (192.168.0.1, wired to
    comcast cable) <--- laptop WinXP (192.168.0.3, wireless)

    Everything works properly on both computers. Speed test from laptop is
    1199 down, 239 up. Speed test from desktop is 2370 down, 239 up. These
    speeds make sense since the wireless is 802.11b.

    My gripe comes when I try to SSH to my FC2 box from my laptop, going
    through the Internet (ssh <external-router-ip>)

    The connection goes through, but SSH is sloooooooooow. Characters take
    several seconds to appear. Same thing with VNC. If I try these
    services using the internal LAN IP (ssh 192.168.0.2), then it of course
    works flawlessly.

    I have port 22 forwarded on the router to 192.168.0.2.

    I used to be able to SSH into my Linux box from work to check on stuff.
    Now it's so slow that it's unuseable.

    HELP! :)

    Thanks
    Ben
