Network/Internet won't download

Question

I have just purchased a new Dell inspiron 6400, and there is problems with connecting to the internet. I can connect to google, yahoo and they download immediately, but when I connect to other sites, in fact any other site that isn't a search engine, then the downloading of the page takes forever. for example, http://www.firefox2007.com took over 1 minutes, I then gave up. I have had to resort to posting this from another computer. The nework cable is plugges directly into the Dimension 6400, and when I move the cable to another computer, the download speeds are fine, therefore limiting the problem to my new dimension 6400. can someone please help before I return the laptop? kind regards S

I am having the same issue with Optiplex 520 with the BroadCom Integrated and/or the RealTek PCI NICS. What is happening, is that the freshly Dell loaded machines are losing their TCP/IP drivers(getting corrupted) within 48 hours of setting up the computers. I am in the process of diagnosing whether it is a virus(Bag-Z) or an image problem. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem??
