- If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms?
- For wireless issues, have you disabled all encryption on the router to see if you can connect that way?
- Have you connected directly to the broadband modem to see if this is a router or modem/ISP issue?
- If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?
