Slow browser on fresh webpage

    Hi, looking for any advice here. When my browser starts or goes to any new webpage the connection is really slow. Once in a site response is good. This happens with IE6 and Netscape on XP. I have run Ad-Aware, Spybot and got rid of a load of rubbish. Also ran Registry-Mechanic and fixed a load of (so called) problems. I have two PC's together on the same broadband router and one is fine so I know connectivity is not the issue. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Otherwise machine runs perfectly with all local applications. NIC on both are set to the same although I see the slow PC has Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 configured in the connection as well as the standard Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The Microsoft entry cannot have it's properties viewed as this option is greyed out. Any thoughts anyone?

    Sounds like a slow DNS server. Is one PC set up manually to a specific DNS? or are they both set up to different DNSs

    DNS is automatic as is DHCP from my provider, both PC's on the same router, only one has the problem so I don't think this can be the case. I agree this could be the suspect but having the control PC on the same router and provider kind of rules thisd out. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Just on a hunch, is the slow computer running Google Toolbar in the browser?

    Because this may be the cause of the slow-down. It automatically looks up the page rank for every new site before allowing it to load.

    no, I try and keep the browser as clean as possible without any add-ons.

    Sean, sussed it, after two days! It was the Microsoft tcp/ip version 6 protocol in use on the NIC. Not really sure how it got there, perhaps some app configured it in? Once deleted the issue was instantly solved on any browser after a reboot. I guess the only good thing about the problem is that it made me clean up the whole PC, a bit of a service! You had to see the performance hit to believe it, made browsing a painful experience. Many thanks for your interest.
