Who is the ISP?
Can you connect by dial-up (maybe to a different ISP?) and see if the delay is still there?
Optusnet (Cable).
Tried the beta (1187) - same symptoms.
Well I have the same ISP as you but not the same configuration. I'm not seeing this problem so I'm out of ideas for now. (I don't suppose you're paying the extra $5.00 a month for dial-up to try that?)
Just for the record, I have 2 x XP SP2 machines cabled to a Belkin router and Motorola 5100. Both upgraded from 98SE in 2002 and updated via Automatic Updates.
avast! Home 4.8.1187 - all providers. ( Note: Beta is now up to 1192
- I haven't tried it yet.)
Office 2003 installed and up to date
Windows Firewall
I don't have Acrobat Reader installed (Foxit instead).
