IT Advice needed

[intertext]

My internet has slowed to a crawl - it's driving me crazy. I have a wireless modem on dsl (telus for anyone local who knows what I mean), and lately it's just taking forever to load pages.

I'm on a Mac (macbook) and according to Finder have bags of harddrive space left and wouldn't have thought it was a RAM problem. Is there somewhere in the Mac like in Windows Task Manager where you can go and see what's happening at a given moment? Also, could it be because I'm being invaded by some other user on my wireless network? I need to reset my security on the network - I wouldn't have thought that would affect it, anyway, but want to cover all possible bases.

Thanks so much! I'll be working at home tomorrow, so will take some time to get at the innards of my router etc and see what difference that makes.

I'll be on jabber (via gmail) most of the day and can jump on MSN (same addy) if you need help. Although your day is my night or something. Teaching tonight so will be offline for a while and then brain dead. ;-)
