this may seem like a strange question but, are you completely sure that the wireless connection you are connecting to on the Mac is actually YOUR wireless network and not one from the neighbors. (or similar)?
Have you got the PC desktop sharing the internet connection in any way?
Given that it seems to work well in other locations, it would seem that you have something in your setup that is not in other people's setups.
Can you connect to the Internet at your house if the desktop PC is turned off?

hey, I recently bought an Apple Mac notebook, and duo booted it into windows and the orginal OS Tiger. When I connect onto our home internet with my laptop, it goes exceedingly slow, sometimes not even loading the site, and the same goes for an online game i play on windows(slow when i boot into mac as well).When I go on the desktop PC with it connected onto the hone internet,ITS FINE...nothing slow whatsoever, only on my notebook it happens. When i connect onto another person's internet, it runs FINE, NORMAL. I went to a friends house who has the same Rogers High Speed internet as us, and it connected perfectly fine there as well, everything loading well, my game loading well. So why is it that the internet runs slow on my laptop, but the desktop PC runs fine using the same internet connection? And why does my laptop run fine on other ppl's internet but not my home? Lastly, and most importantly, how do i fix this.
PS: We have wireless internet, runs with 54 kbps on all internet connections ive been on, just slow on my brothers...
