not sure if that helps. but any ideas? because honestly it was a gift and I'm thinking of replacing it with a faster pc. It was a gift- and they offered this or a PC... and honestly- I like the mac (except this weird keyboard) but hate the slowness of internet. applications seem VERY fast. it's just the f-ing wireless. ugh. I have a wireless N server (belkin) which I now have only sending out G to help.
any thoughts appreciated. so sorry to bother you. hope you are well!

Answer 1

There's no reason you should have slow connectivity with that Mac, but you haven't given any details about how your internet connection is set up, what you're using for DNS, etc. There are plenty of hints for how to fix your Internet connection in Leopard in these forums. You might start by manually entering an openDNS server to replace the one you're using and see if DNS resolution is the problem.
