I've got a weird internet problem...
I'm running a small network... one machine w/ Starband satelite internet and a few client machines.
Here on the client machine, the internet is horribly unreliable. Many pages, such as ebay, google, and just about any webpage will refuse to load whenever it wishes. If I hit refresh a few times, it will sometimes go. Sometimes the title of the page shows up as Cannot Find Server even when it does load. All the while, Instant Messenger will usually work fine.
Outlook Express has the worst problems, it will say "Finding Host" for a long time and never actually get my email.
The network works fine, as far as I can tell. And, because IM keeps chugging along, I assume the TCP network is fine.
All the while, internet on the host starband machine is fine. I have tried the WinXP system restore to a couple months before when the net was fine, didn't do anything.
Any ideas out there? I am just about out of ideas! Thanks a lot
