******* Sorry for the repeat *******

Then repair or reinstall IE as i had given

Sunray

sounds like newdotnet

I think War1 is on the right track.  Sounds like some type of 3rd party interference with IE 6.  

What Operating System are you running?

If WinXp, try this:

go to start, run, type in msconfig, hit ok.  Then click the services tab and put a checkmark in "hide all microsoft services", then uncheck what's left in that window.  Then click the startup tab and uncheck everything here.  Click apply, close, and restart.

Once rebooted, see if IE's performance is any better.

If that (msconfig) does help, then you must selectively go through the non-microsoft services and startup items to determine which is causing the problem.  I'd suggest rechecking all of the services first, reboot, then see if the problem occurs.  If it does occur, then you know it's in the services.  If it does not occur, then you know it's in the startup.  Then selectively go through that to narrow it down to the actual offending service/startup item.

The above steps also work on win98 and winme, just the services tab is not there, so you would just do the startup items.

Do you by chance have ESPN Motion installed?

Hope this helps.

This is Win Xp and Win 2000 behind the same switch.  Both machines are showing similar delay. I checked switch duplex, but it is OK = 100 full. I see delay only when using IE not on the local network.
Run Ad Aware and SpyBoot=it did not help. About week ago I installed key logger utility and a few Windows updates..that is all I can remember. No ESPN Motion.

When I click on hyperlink nothing happens. I feel like a timer is holding IE for 10 sec. and than it goes to retrieve the page. I do experience unusually slow download speeds too.
I’ll continue with your suggestions one by one. You guys are great!!!

try opening task manager, and watch the processes when you click on IE and see what's happening

Hmmm - that changes things totally - we are good, but only go on the info we are given....

there are 2 PC's - that changes it totally...

lots of questions - to give us a good chance

what sort of internet connection do you use? DSL? dial up?
make and model of router
is TCP/IP the only protocol?
is DHCP in use or are there fixed IP's
in a process  / application window (CTRL-ALT-DEL), is there anything that you don't recognise?
do you or did you use internet connection sharing
how many network cards are in each PC? - have they been changed?



 

Is it possable that it is an isp problem, if your connection is slow pages may have a delay befor they apare to start loading, are these 2 computers the only ones ysing this internet conection?

Mrkaras:
It apperas that is happening only to me. Thanks.

Ensure you uncheck automatically detect proxy settings in your IE connection settings.

search for files called 'hosts'

if it is larger than 1K then chances are that is your problem...

also check these two out...

http://accs-net.com/hosts/faq.html#19

Try this - when you first open IE, make sure you enter the URL using http:// before the address. I have the same issue, where IE hangs for about 10 seconds on the first URL I enter, but if I use http:// before the address, it doesn't do it. In my case, and probably yours, I don't think it has anything to do with spyware... I'll post again if I get more info.

Download SPYBOT Search & Destroy immediately!  It sounds as if you are picking up a LOT of bots or potential trojans.
It can be found at :
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd

SPYBOT will remove all of the hijackers, but does not address TROJANS.  There are several good Trjoan removers out there (I have not found any free, however).  Try looking at:

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

My comment is here:

Internet Explorer 6 Hangs 10-20 Seconds After Clicking Links
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Applications/Q_20862233.html

I had this same problem and it was driving me crazy.  I tried everything short of reinstalling windows.

Here is what worked for me:

First in tools - internet options - advanced under browsing uncheck "enable third party browser extensions.  You will need to restart Internet explorer.  If this works for you then some third party program is slowing down internet explorer.  Then get browser sentinel http://www.browsertools.net/ it is a pretty useful tool to keep your browser running without getting bogged down by spyware

Hope this helps you,
