The connection is wired. Service is High Speed up to 5 Mbps download speed. Modem is a motorola SB5102. I don't think is a connection/network problem. There's no router and only one computer wired. The pinging testing had ok results as far as I could tell. I think there's a problem with the settings within IE. The problem began when doing the Microsoft updates. The OS is 2000Pro. No error messages popped or logged. Firefox seems to work fine.
