Linksys Wireless USB Adapter making Ebay run slowly?

hey all,

Quite a bizarre problem really, I set up a wireless network in our house, my girlfriends desktop computer runs on a Wireless G USB thingy, and my laptop downstairs runs off a cable plugging directly into the router.

Since I installed it, the internet works fine on both, but ebay runs REALLY slowly, I mean to the point of simply not loading up the pages fully. I have no idea why it does it, sometimes you can be trying to refresh it every 10 minutes and nothing happens, then you'll just click and it'll open up straight away. NO OTHER website has done this at all, both computers run fine as dandy in every other respect.

Any ideas as to why this is? I deleted the cookies just to see if that would help but no such luck! Its just cost me the chance to buy a fireguard so I'm abit miffed!

Right, this is my girlfriends specs as far as I know

PC2100 RAM 512MB
Onboard graphics 64mb
Onboard sound
ASUS motherboard
1.2ghz CPU (or something)
80GB HDD
Hope thats enough

Any ideas?! Obviously I can't pop on ebay and ask as its not bloody working!
