recently i reformatted a friends comaq desktop pc... around a yr old or so... and we have our 2 computers networked on a wireless linksys router.... i had them networked together just fine before until i reformatted the computer, due to the large amount of porn spyware and popups my friend created... but for some odd reason now the computer wnats to connect to the actual internet for maybe 30-60seconds, it will log onto yahoo instantly, but struggle with msn messenger and i cant go anywhere in internet explorer... and before i would hook the computer straight up to the dsl modem and it would work fine, but it doesnt even do that now.... if i hook everything up to my dell like the modem itsself or run through the router everything works fine.... and there for a while my dell was doing it too, but it hasnt done it here lately.... now to me this sounds like a router error, but yet i tried another router to and it did the same thing... so could it possibly be the NIC card?
