90944 2002-10-19 20:35:00 Turn my comp. on and goes thru the usual loading of windows 98 and log on procedure.Open up homepage or any other page on internet and when I go to another page it then takes far to long to change to that page......sometimes up to 3 or 4 minutes..........once at this new page, the folllowing page changes occur at normal spend. Any advice please.

Thanks

90947 2002-10-20 02:31:00 Has your computer been used on a local network, with its own DNS server? If it has been set up to look at the local DNS server first, then the DNS server of your ISP, it could be waiting a while before it gives up on a (non-existent) DNS server on a (non-existent?) LAN.
