Internet Explorer 7 problem

[ice_glitch]

When I use IE7, IE6, Firefox 2.0, or Netscape 8.1, all of them work, however they are unbearably slow... like dial-up speed. However, We have an old version of Netscape 7.1, and that works at the normal download rate of our ISP. Also, my Windows Messenger Beta is also really really slow. They still work, but it's comparable to dial-up speeds. I have reinstalled IE7 twice now, with no luck on changing the speed. So, right now I'm using an old version of Netscape 7.1 to surf the web... but without plug-ins. I thought plug-ins might be the problem... but like I said I reinstalled IE7 and ran it without add-ons... still no luck. I scanned my computer with Windows Defender, Ad-Aware SE Personal, and Norton Anti-Virus 2006, and it turned up nothing. Netscape 7.1 works, but IE7, IE6, Firefox 2.0, and Netscape 8.1 do not! There's some setting Netscape 7.1 has that allows it to access but the newer internet browsers are not working. I might add that I can browse the internet at normal speeds wirelessly on my PSP if that makes a difference. The computers on my network ping fine, and everything seems to run at normal internet speeds except the internet browsers I have mentioned. Please help!

Go to Control Panel / Network / TCP/IP / Dialup adapater / WINS Configuration and be sure there is a check in "disable WINS resolution"


Be sure there is only one Dial-up Adapater in the Network Control Panel. Multiple TCP/IP components can sometimes cause problems (e.g. AOL Adapter).
