If you can access your network at the normal speed, then it's an IE issue. If your network is as slow as your web connection, then 2 things. You have a network protocol issue, or the network card itself. EDIT: What error messages is hotmail and MSN giving you?

Thanks for replying Animal. How do I check my network speed. MSN pages just don't load period. The screen comes up white and it says it's done. Hotmail just keeps going in a loop. I enter my name and password, it sits around forever then at the bottom where it says: connecting to http:/hotmail...blah,blah blah it says error after it and another little screen pops up asking me to enter my name and password again or login under a different name. I get a white screen the entire time.

edit: The only thing that changed just prior to all this mishap is that I have automatic update to Win XP and it had just downloaded files. I have no idea what those files where though or where they were deposited.
