Internet Explorer loading issue

Hi all,

This isn't a big deal but it can be quite irritating.

I have a brand new machine with Windows Vista Business running on it. This
is the main machine in the study and has a Belkin router connected to it via
a cat5 cable. The rest of the PCS/Laptops in the house run from the routers
wireless.
Everything is set up and internet explorer loads automatically on each
machine.

However, on this newer machine, when I click on Internet Explorer, it takes
around 8-10 seconds to load the homepage, i.e google. On all of the other
machines, its pretty much instant. The other machines are running XP/Vista
Home and Vista Basic. They all load the webpage instantly.

This newer machine takes a while and shows "Connecting" in the tab. I have
never experienced this before and wondered what it could be. I have tried
making a few changes but it does it every time. Once google has loaded, and
i click a new tab, the same happens again, it takes about 10 seconds for a
new homepage to load.

We have been using the same router in the house for 3 years and i've never
seen a machine act like this.
Is there something I'm missing?

Many thanks,

Ben

1. Make sure your router has the latest Firmware.
2. Get latest Drivers for your computer's Network adaptor.
3. On your computer with problems, right-click the Network
connection>Properties>unbind TCP/IPv6. It can cause probs with some ISPs.
