Thanks for the quick response.

I've tried clearing cookies and cache but it did not work. I also tried
getting in via Terminal Services as a different user and that user also had
the same problem. I have not tried to set the parameter to check for newer
versions of stored pages because this happens even with web sites that have
never been visited before, ever. I've also tried pinging by name before I
try to hit a site, after I've tried the first time, and after the refresh.
The ping always works (and comes back immediately too, with no delay, so I'm
pretty sure the problem is not with DNS lookups). In fact, I think I've
even tried pulling up sites by IP address only and the same thing happens.
(I'm not positive though so I'll try this again next time I get a chance.)
By the way, when I used nslookup, the DNS server shows as localhost with
it's loopback address and resolves the name right away. I just changed the
primary DNS IP address to 10.10.100.10 and 10.10.10.10 on their respective
interfaces and now nslookup does give me the name and domain suffix of the
server as well as the 10.10.10.10 address.

Can you think of anything else?

Thanks Again,

Victor
