If you're a Comcast user you might have the same problem I
had. see my recent post titled "SOLUTION to slow web
browser"

Whenever you give a time for a post give your time zone. The other person
is going to see the times in their own time zone.
 
Use it at your own risk.

Anyway, the solution is as follows:

(1) Click Start, choose Run, and type "regedit" and click
ok.
(2) In the registry editor, expand the node called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
(3) Expand the submode named SYSTEM
(4) Expand the submode named CurrentControlSet
(5) Expand the submode named Services
(6) Find the node called TCPIP and expand it
(7) Under that, click on the node called Parameters
(8) On the right side, find the variable named
TCPWindowSize
(9) If the type of the variable is not REG_DWORD (mine was
REG_SZ) and the value is not 0x0000ea60(60000) then you
may have found the problem. To fix it:
(10) Select the TCPWindowSize variable and delete it.
(11) Right-click on Paramters again and choose New->DWORD
value
(12) Name the new variable TCPWindowSize
(13) Set the value of the new variable to ea60
(14) Close the registry editor and reboot.

When I did that my web pages began to load fast like they
used to.

Hope this helps all the people with the same problem.

Frank they are both using the web interface so isn't the time
given as PST for both?


For example, here is a link to the message I think he is referring to:

Subject: SOLUTION to very slow browser
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 15:29:45 -0700

OE shows that to me (in EDST, -0400) as being 18:29
so I suspect that they should be looking for it in the web interface
at 3:29 PM.

Note to web interface users: a simple way to use that news link
would be to copy it, replace the prefix by msgid: and
search with the resulting string in Google Groups
< http://groups.google.com/ >

I am not online at the moment so I can't offer any other alternative
links.

I guess so, in the headers, but not on their screen.
