Can't browse sites - loads fast initially but won't load new pages - times out

[AnitaL]

This happens with both IE and Firefox. Computer is really fast otherwise. Help? I think it is internet settings somewhere but can't find it.

Hi AnitaL,

Welcome to Computer Hope!

In order for someone to help you diagnose your problem, they are going to need as much information about it. Detailed is much better.

What operating system are you using?

For testing only, please try this:
Open your command prompt (Go to Start > Run > then type cmd > hit Enter)
Command prompt Window will appear.  Type there: "ping www.computerhope.com", then hit Enter. What is the result?
