Internet Problem (if you fix it: CREDITS!!!!)
« on: August 26, 2011, 05:28:59 AM »
So my internet works fine on games and downloads BUT it takes minutes to open any website in all of my web browsers (mozilla firefox, internet explorer, google chrome). And that is annoying.

I really need a simple way to fix this. I will come home later today and then I will check all your replies.

Credits to whoever solves this!  :a-cheer:

Do you have an updated virus guard?

I had this too, but it was in fact a virus. The best way to check it is to open the Control + alt + delete thing and see if you have an  iexplorer.exe running which is using incredibly high amount of CPU, even when you're just on your desktop with no internet open.

Next week when I am working I will run a full check overnight cause those beeping sounds my computer makes everytime avira finds something are awful annoying.

Definitely a virus dude. Try doing a full search but yet you may have to format your PC coz the damage is already done.

What about cmd -> ipconfig /flushdns ?
Do you know what your MTU settings are at? TCP Optimizer could help: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

Network card drivers?!?
cmd netstat, cntrlaltdel stats?!?
MTU settings?!?

If you are connected to the internet wirelessly you will either have a usb wireless adaptor or a network card above or below your graphics card (will see on the back of the pc). If you have one download and update the drivers for it (create a restore point before ofc)

I talked with somebody irl about it and he said he had the problem before but it wasn't because of his computer. The problem there was that the internet was asking for more speed (no I won't use epic 1337 language) than the router could handle wich resulted in a sort of 'overbuffering' of the router. So when he switched it on/off for a little while the router was 'clean' again.

E: My point is that is doesn't have to be your computer wich causes the problem it might as well be your ISP or the router etc.

tldr; just delete system32
