Update

I am still waiting to get the cable to hook into my Ethernet card but in the mean time I decided to see what would happen if I attempted to upload photos while in Linux.

I downloaded picasa for Linux and then uploaded an album of about 20 photos. All went smoothly and fast with no freeze or unresponsiveness.

I also attempted to e-mail myself some photos through gmail via Thunderbird. This time it loaded about half the photos before I received a message of a problem with the smtp server. I did determine though that my internet connection remained active and I could still surf without having to restart like I would in Windows. This may have happened because of Thunderbird.

I will try a few more times to see if I can repeat all of this but it looks like to me that this is a windows issue with my wireless adapter. I will need to see if the problems duplicate when I connect with a cable from the computer to the internet while in Windows. If it does this will just be another push for me to give up Windows.
