This problem could be very difficult to track down. Like I said, it definately effects emacs and firefox being "drawn" on a remote computer. Ping times, however, are not that bad: PING 192.168.26.150: 56 data bytes 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=0. time=0.287 ms 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=1. time=0.279 ms 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=2. time=0.196 ms 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=3. time=0.201 ms 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=4. time=0.159 ms 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=5. time=0.148 ms 64 bytes from dyn26-1.blueskytours.com (192.168.26.150): icmp_seq=6. time=0.150 ms Also, wget gets good throughput when retrieving files. It just seems to be X traffic which is extremely slow. Using the old Linksys 10/100 PCI NIC, emacs comes up virtually instantaneously. Using the integrated Realtek 8111B, emacs takes 10 seconds to draw. Thank you very much for trying to help. John
