Re: Fast downloads, slow browsing

Now that I sent it, I don't think it got all of the ipconfig /all from the
other computer. I will be resending it.

Thanks for the feedback there. I wish you were typical of users of this forum.

So, what's the problem here? When did you first notice the problem? How long
have you had this Internet service? Does the other computer not have this
problem?

Let's start by looking at your DNS service. Run "ipconfig /all" and get the
addresses of the DNS servers for this computer, and the other if possible.

I just wonder if you have a DNS server balance problem.

I don't know what of this information is pertinent, but I'll through it all
at you and let you sift through it.

I switched from dialup to Bellsouth DSL about 2 months ago. From the start,
I noticed that the new service was loading web pages more slowly than it was
doing on dialup. I had my computer side-by-side with the Bellsouth (the new
AT&T--like we needed that one) technician's computer when he hooked it up.
His computer was loading pages much more quickly than was mine. I asked him
about it, and he indicated that it was my problem, not his.

At that time, I was using a MS wireless broadband router that was 3 or 4
years old. In search of more speed, I purchased a Linksys wireless router.
I ended up having to call Linksys to set it up because they told me that the
IP assigned by their router was the same IP used by Bellsouth
(192.168.1.254). They had me reassign my local IP to 10.10.1.1.

The other computer was not added to this network until recently. It is
connecting wirelessly through a Linksys USB antenna which came with the newly
purchased router. This computer has low-speed USB ports (limiting it to 11
kbs), but still loads pages more quickly than does this one.

I ran ipconfig /all on this computer. It is showing the DNS servers as
192.168.1.254 under "Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 4" (which
is the connection I use), and "fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1; fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1; and
fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1 under "Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface."

I will reply later this afternoon with the DNS Servers from the other
computer. It is next door in my office, and I've got to go teach a class
right now.

Back at you soon.

OK, your computer has IPV6 aka Teredo Tunneling, to start. With XP, IPV6 is
unnecessary (unless you have a client need for it).

Seeing the complete "ipconfig /all" logs from both computers MIGHT prove more
useful.
