This site only? or every website?

Laggy in terms of page loading, or opening your browser?

Try visiting Windows Update and downloading the culmulative patches, for Windows and for Internet Explorer.

yep that's right there's a new culmulative patch for IE, i'd like to know is just IE in terms the browser laggy, or is the website just loading slower than normal, if its the browser being laggy is the rest of the computer laggy?, if you turn off IE would it make the computer fast?, look in task manager, Ctrl+Shift + Esc, tell me and check out the CPU percent the running process has the most it should be System Idle process, but if there's another one tell me, and also look at the memory usage and see which one si consuming the most

everysite is laggier

the rest of the computer runs fine

What do you mean by 'laggy'

Takes 5 minutes to load a page, or was it significantly faster before this 'problem'?

Have you tried using different browsers?

Opera
Mozilla
Firebird
MyIE2

etc. and is there any difference with them?

 

[Newbie]

connection seems to be fine

[Newbie]

nah dont have any other browers

yep its exactly how you describe it, blocky and jagged and shit
like scrolling down the page takes ages
and the words dont appear for like 2 seconds after i type it

maybe its a sign i should get off the computer and study

Router for internet sharing, and a network, acts a firewall as well, if ur like me with Telstra Bigpond, also acts as the login client

u would never go and purchase a router if ur only intending to share it between two computers, since its not needed to waste the money, but if ur friends come over for a lan a router wouldnt harm urself.

 

[Newbie]

hmmm okies
ta
i got more questions but they should wait until after hsc until i get a connection worth sharing

So what's a switch do?

I have answered similar questions in the IPT forum.

Differences between any of the following, or all of the following!
Hub
Gateway
Bridge
Router
Switch
Firewall

I hate explaining...

i wouldnt know much for the difference to be honest, i use to be pretty good at computing but i've died down, my gaming friends know more networking than me because i never play games and i hardly lan with ppl

Newbie, is there any chance you may have some spyware on your computer? Maybe that is what is slowing your Internet connection down. Try downloading a spyware remover such as Ad-aware 6.

i ran spybot but yeah no difference
im on navigator 4 right now!
