Wireless Issue - Slowdown on one machine

Hello, I'm currently having difficulties with one computer in my wireless network (I'm typing this from my laptop) and hoping somebody here would be able to help.


Okay, my problem is as follows: One of my computers has began to load web pages extremely slowly taking about a minute or two to load up google and around 30-40s to complete a search (Although Google claims to have completed the search in 0.45s).

The issue has just occurred today when I turned the computer on.

Firstly I tried using the repair tool which came back with an error about not being able to clear the ARP cache so I cleared it and ran the repair tool again which completed with no errors however web pages still loaded up very slowly.

I've also tried resetting the router and updating my wireless card drivers but unfortunately no change.

The computer with this problem is running Windows XP (Service Pack 3) the wireless card is a Gigabyte GN-WPO1GS Card (Turbo) and the router is a Netgear Wireless-G Router model WGR614v9

Thanks for the help, if you need any other details please tell me.

(If this is in the wrong sub-section I apologise)

Okay after pinging www.google.com here are the times:

my prob is like urs, i think. My "wireless representative" said 2 reinstall xp
I know that the wireless network is there because the other computers in my network can see it just fine. All of the other computers that see the network are vista. I looked at information about my wireless card using Lavalys Everest and the windows device manager, but i can not see anything directly wrong with the actual device. Then i ran and ipconfig, which showed me that all of my network card, WHICH ARE HARDWIRED TO THE MOTHERBOARD can not be found! I then got out a USB wireless adapter and plugged it in. I could not use it with Windows Zero Configuration, but it works completley smoothly connecting with the Linksys USB device manager. I think that this may mean that my installation of WZC is corrupt, but i think that I am going to have to find a way to reinstall it.
