| 1268838 | 2012-04-09 08:06:00 | The times with IE and FF look fine so it shouldn't be a DNS issue. Maybe the anti-virus is scanning something when using Chrome, try disabling it? I take it you've updated Chrome to the latest version? |

That sped up the time to the "Save As" dialogue box, but the actual initial loading of the web pages seems to have slowed up a bit. :illogical |

I take it you've updated Chrome to the latest version? Hi Warnox I'm using MSE for antivirus. I'll check I've got the latest version now Edit: Yep - it's up to date |

| 1268841 | 2012-04-10 03:13:00 | OK so what if you set 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers instead? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1268843 | 2012-04-10 04:30:00 | Yes, correct :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1268844 | 2012-04-10 04:35:00 | Yes, correct :) I'll give it a go then |

| 1268845 | 2012-04-10 04:55:00 | Yes, correct :) That may have made a difference - I'll do some timings, the change the settings back to Open DNS and compare things. What's the significance of the 8s and 4s - where's that sending me? Chrome is still very slow from starting it 'til it hits the homepage tho' |

| 1268846 | 2012-04-10 05:02:00 | I've just tried google's DNS server ips. And windowsupdate wouldnt / couldnt download MSE's updates. And some sites wouldnt load. As soon as I changed them back to TC's, windowsupdate worked, and so did the sites Those are Google ip addresses |
