Very odd web connectivity behavior

I have Verizon FIOS. If I go to Speedtest I get numbers that reflect
the performance I am paying for, 15 up, 2 down. The problem is with
Web behavior and it doesn't seem to matter if I'm using IE or
Firefox. I click on a link and the status just goes to "done",
nothing happens. I can click it quite a few times before it actually
goes to the page, then it loads fast. This occurs all the time on any
number of sites. Or it will give me an error page, but it will
connect upon refresh. I have the Actiontech modem/wireless router
from Verizon. The support they offer is useless, when they can be
contacted. This has gone on for weeks now, and before I just tell
them to come pull everything out I want to hear other ideas. I have
run Spybot and Adaware as well as AVG. The system is clean. I
primarily use Firefox for my browser. XP SP 2.

You've got a lot going on here. Does the issue happen without the
VPN, Sonicwall and VMWare interfaces loaded.

I think I discovered what is was. The VMware bridge services and
Virtual. Machine networking services was unchecked in 2 of the other
interfaces. Once enabled most of the problems have gone away. I
guess that needs to be enabled on all interfaces. The main issue I
now have is my email. I keep getting:

Task 'Personal Mail - Sending and Receiving' reported error
(0x8004210A) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from
the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this message,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

If I close Outlook (2002 SP3), then open it, I collect the mail for
awhile. But once I get the above error, I'm done until I re start
Outlook.
