Studio XPS1340 wireless network issue

Hello all,

hopefully this is a "no brainer" and someone has an easy answer:

I can find and connect to my wireless network, I can bring up a browser, I can put a query in the seach bar and get results on Google or whoever....but when I click on any of the  link results, my system just sits there "thinking". You can see the fill bar just idling along...putt, putt, putt, it never seems to complete the link.  Now, if I use my Verizon wireless USB and connect in via that method, NO PROBLEM at all.  Any clues...as I said, hopefully this is a "no brainer"
