| 1118946 | 2010-07-15 07:30:00 | I've decided to give Google Chrome another go, this time on my netbook. One slight problem - when I navigate to a website by entering its URL it appears to do nothing for ages before deciding to navigate to the website. :badpc: Firefox on the same PC navigates instantly. What's wrong? XP HE SP3 |

What's wrong? XP HE SP3 Is Firefox actually loading the page, or pulling it from it's cache? It sounds like a DNS issue to me - what happens if you put 210.55.180.156 (www.google.co.nz) in the URL bar? |
