Web Pages Load Slowly

I have a cable modem connected to a Linksys WRT54GS router networking two
computers. One running Win/2000 Pro and one running XP-HE.

The Win/2000 machine loads web pages very slowly and occasionally can't load
them at all. I get an "Page cannot be displayed" error... but if I click
reload the page eventually loads.

All current Win 2000 patches have been applied. I run Spybot and NAV and
rescanned the system with both - they revealed no problems.

The XP machine is running fine.

I'm thinking it may be the NIC card (Linksys LNE100TX v4) Any ideas on
troubleshooting this problem?

Most likely a DNS problem. Compare your DNS settings on your XP client
to your Windows 2000 client and you will probably see a difference and
the cause of your issue.
 
Clear your "Temporary Internet Files", cache and even flush your DNS entries.

Check on Tools-Internet Options, Connections- Lan Settings, make sure the
option

"Automatically detect settings is disabled". This option sends a broadcast
everytime you connect to the internet...

hope this helps..
 
I verified that the DNS settings are the same on both clients, I deleted the
Temporary Internet files and I will check the "auto detect settings" this
evening.

Where do I need to go to flush the DNS entries?
 
Type in this command on your command prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns.

This will flush your DNS resolver cache.

Give it a shot to see if there's a difference..
