    The router is the the gateway for both machines.  Have you scanned these machines for spyware/malware?

    Can you ping the router?  Can you ping a DNS name such as www.dell.com?

    If so, I would either look at spyware or an overloaded node from your cable internet supplier.  Have you check the resources manager and looked at CPU usage?

    You posted on my post because you had the same problems. I kind of think that the guy was a little out of line. I made a post to that if you care to read it. That is the way it use to be. I am curious to see if any solutions will take care of our problem. Mine started a couple of weeks ago. I even tried swapping cables to see if the problem would transfer and it didn't. Must be something with that one machine. Good luck.

    I am having the same issues. I get better results with Mozilla... don't ask...

    Still not as great as my last computer. I disabled the internal network card and installed a 3Com PCI card. Same issues. Very slow internet or no internet at all. It is the computer..
