You are running more than one software firewall 2. Even though your download bandwidth is good, if your upload bandwidth is being maxed out, pages will come in slowly (your browser needs to SEND info like user agent and such during the transaction), if you use a P2P file sharing program, this could be the cause. Another cause of upload bandwdith problems could be a worm. 3. It *could* be a virus that you keep re-installing if you happen to be using media that you don't know the origins of (burned CDs, etc...) These are jusr a few ideas. Are you running virus protection? Do you have at least a software firewall? -- Chris Gsell www.eschatonik.com |
