XP slowing down IE and Network Browsing

Two problems I'm having. Both problems came up out of the blue.
Everything was working fine one minute and dead the next. When I
click on "View Workgroups" the system takes 30-45 seconds to find the
Workgroups on the network. Again this just started happening for no
apparent reason. In conjuction with this problem, IE now loads
certain web pages very, very slowly. Again this just started
happening for no apparent reason and the browsing doesn't slow down on
every site. I've been all over the net and understand that this is a
known problem. All the solutions I've seen so far have done nothing
to fix it. Has anyone had this happen and actually fix the problem?
 
There isn't anything running that is taking up resources. There are
no viruses, no spyware, no adware or anything malicious causing it.
The "View Workgroups" problem I had right from jump on a clean install
and a reinstall just to see if I could get rid of it. No dice there.
The IE browsing the net slowly just started. I've now been all over
the place on the net and forums and have found dozens and dozens of
people posting this exact problem with no one knowing a correct
solution.
