IE6 freezes temorarily when going to site

[ThorntonMelon]

Hi all,

Internet Explorer freezes for about 10 seconds when I type in a URL or choose one from my drop-down list.  When I access a site from my favorites, there is no delay.  When I type anything into the Google Toolbar, there is no delay, it goes right to Google results.  It only happens, like I said, when I type the address or get it from the list.  Once I pass the delay, everything works as it should.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!

When I type a URL it usually takes about 10 seconds to get to the page (using 56K dialup). When I click on a Favourite the page is almost instant because when you store a favourite it leaves a cookie on your PC which helps with the connection.

I have a cable connection, so I should hit the site almost instantly, even from a newly typed URL.
