164691 2003-08-02 09:36:00 I use a Dell Latitude laptop with Win XP. At work I connect to the internet via our Win2K server. We have JetStream. When I browse at work the first page loads just fine, but the system seems to hang when I link to the next page - sometimes takes ages to load, other times never loads. Other WinXP computers on the network don't have this problem. My laptop works fine via a dial-up connection at home.

Any suggestions most welcome.

I know nothing about these things myself, but do you think the PC might be "confused" with swapping from dial-up to JetStream?

Maybe someone else may have some advice....

More details


Check the proxy server settings for caching - the home page may (probably) be being cached .

Check the server for hardware capabilities - it may be too small to do the task

Check the server for load - it may be over accessed

Check the network - workgroups load slower than domains
