It's working harder to cool down the processor. You may have to open your case and check the processor fan and heat sink for built up dust. I had this problem recently because I keep the side panel of my computers off most of the time so dust builds up easy. The dust had caked up so much between the heat sink's fins that the air that the fan was blowing wasn't cooling it down. Pretty soon you are going to start to experience shut downs if you don't get it taken care of. You can take out the fan and manually blow it out. or get a can of air to take to it.
You might want to look into one of these.

No...this is only for data transfer via USB.
You need a Crossover cable...It looks just like your normal ethernet cable...but when you look at the ends where the connectors are...the wires are in a different order. With a regular ethernet cable...both ends of the cable will have the colored wires in the same order. Radio Shack carries them for about 10 dollars. This is the way to do it if you don't have a router.

are you using the internal wireless card or do you have one inserted in the slot? Do other laptops perform well in the same room? Is your access point using a directional antenae? There could be a lot of wires or metal inside the wall separating the rooms? Could be a cordless phone @ 2.4ghz interfering with the signal.
Access point is what your laptops are connecting to, to access the internet. Don't worry it's not that if other laptops are doing fine. You may have to adjust your transmit power options on your wireless card. Your wireless adapter should have a control panel that you can use to access those settings. Or you can go to the control panel>network connections and right click on the icon for your wireless adapter. You will get an options window with some tabs on top...I think the transmit power options would be in the "Advanced" tab or settings. Not to exact right now...I'll have access to a laptop in a little while and I can tell you exactly. If those options don't work...you can try upgrading the firmware of your wireless adapter. those things are always being updated...yours may be ...outdated. what's the brand of your laptop...and the others as well.
