Is the PC optimised for dial up browsing (MTU size etc) as I think XP comes optimised for BB. Changing the modem driver should help.

Is it just browsing, or do you have more problems with mail / ftp if you use that than before?

Oh and to NTHW - I'm sure we can help you get to the bottom of this.
Modem is an internal one so I just assumed the correct driver was being use. Never heard of optimising for dial-up browsing, but I shall look it up and give it a go. Mail is just as bad, and I haven't yet used ftp but would assume it is the same.

As it is at home and I am at work, I will not be able to try anything until this evening, but thanks for the input.
