I just started having a new problem with Windows XP after a power
outage a few days ago.
Often, when I try to go to a Web page (in Firefox, Opera, and IE) it
says either "Connecting to [site]..." or "Stopped" for about 30 seconds
before it actually begins downloading the page. It doesn't always do
this, however. Also, the amount of time it takes before it starts
downloading can be anywhere between 10 and 45 seconds. This same
problem even happens when I run a local server and try to go to
127.0.0.1 in my browser.
The system having the problem is a triple-boot system, so I checked my
connection under Ubuntu and Windows Vista, which are working fine.
This means it's a software problem for sure.
I know that the possible causes for this are very broad, but does
anyone have an idea of what it might be?
Thanks!
