Slow Browsing

[cambrose]

So both firefox and internet explorer are running extremely slow on my desktop. On my laptop, using the same connection, everything is running fine however. Here is the kicker though. When I turn on wow I still get 100ms latency for the game and ventrilo gets 70ms latency like it always has. Any ideas? Thanks.

Wipe out your cookies and offline content. Could be a bad cache item that is causing the problem.

But more likely your anti-virus/spyware is causing the slowdown. Have you recently changed or installed new software in that variety?

Your computer is trying to force you to make a life changing decision. WoW or teh intarwebz. You can only have one.

I suggest the latter.

Okay......So I tracert yahoo.com on both my laptop and desktop (both using my wireless). Laptop is getting 40-70ms bouncebacks the whole way. Desktop is getting 500-2k ms bouncebacks. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this...it's very exacerbating. Thanks for the help

On a side note, all temporary internet files and all are set to be deleted after every time a browser is shut down.

What anti-virus/spy/firewall software are you running?

When you do the tracert are both machines taking the same path to get there?
