For a few weeks I've been having troubles accessing many websites. IExplorer either hangs on certain sites, or shows "opening page...", or loads only the top static section of the site w/out any dynamic content. Netscape most frequently hangs with "resolving host ..." status, and occasionally with "transferring data" or "connecting to". Some sites load fine in both browsers. When the site hangs in IExplorer, it also paralyzes its Address bar - even after cancelling the operation, any attempt to type the address manually into the bar is taking approx 2 sec per letter. All other internet connectivity (e-mail, IM, etc.) is functioning alright.
I've validated my connection settings, ran network diagnostics - everything checks out OK. When I hook a laptop to the same cable modem - its browsers function fine...
Any suggestions on what I should be checking will be GREATLY appreciated!
