It was baffling me because from the computer in another room (my parents') everything was moving just fine... so I found another setting that was different... it turns on I had DHCP turned on for WINS resolution, which is what I use for the network when I'm at school... unfortunately, for some reason, it changed that TCP/IP setting that was bound to the dial-up adapter as well. &nbsp;So I switched it and now I'm good to go.<br />

Thanks for your time!... Ryan<br />

The speed on my ISP is acceptable, however when contacting a site for the first time during a connection, it is incredibly slow. &nbsp;It takes 17 seconds for the DNS lookup. &nbsp;Once it gets the IP for a site, it moves quite fast. &nbsp;It is also fast if I put in an IP address for a site rather than the name. &nbsp;I've tried several settings:<br />
<br />
1 -- Let the DNS server be decided by the server.<br />
2 -- Setting the Primary DNS to the one my ISP gave me.<br />
3 -- Setting the Primary DNS to an IP address that I use at school and the response seemed fast on.<br />
<br />
However, each time, the lookup takes that 17 seconds... any ideas on how to cut down the lookup time? &nbsp;I'd say it was the connection, but once the IP has been determined, it's the connection speed I'd expect.<br />

Slow DNS response

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
