Wireless lag

Ok. . . here is the deal. I have 2 computers. Computer 1 is wired to my Belkin 802. 11b wireless router. Computer 2 is wireless. When Computer 2 gets online and starts accessing the web, I will notice lag spikes from Computer 1 to the Belkin router.

When Computer 2 gets online and starts accessing the web, I will notice lag spikes from Computer 1 to the Belkin router. I set Computer 1 to ping the router with the -t switch. The ping from Computer 1 to the router would be 1ms, until computer 2 accesses a website, then I would get spikes of 100ms - 500ms, until the page is loaded. That is no big deal normally, but during online gaming, that gets annoying. Anyone have any ideas?

Disable packet bursting on PC 2 and set the wireless card to fixed power output (100%)

Isn't packet bursting a Netware thing?
