I am finding that my system (running Windows 98) has a recurring delay issue but only when I am connected to a network. I can be hooked up to my LAN at home or at my business partner's office. Or, as right now, when hooked up to a DSL access in a hotel. When I unplug the network cable from my laptop dongle, the delay is GONE.
The delay occurs every 30 - 60 seconds and lasts about 3 - 5 seconds. During the delay my system does not respond to mouse movement. The cursor freezes though it seems to be registering the keystrokes after the delay ends. I do not get an hourglass in either case.
Any ideas what is causing this or how I can fix it?
The IT support guy for my business partner suggested that I reformat my drive and reload Windows, etc. That seems like an extreme solution but I will do it soon if I am not able to sove this.
