My PC's internet connection does not work, wireless laptop and PS3 work perfect?

Question

I have a netgear wireless router. My laptop and PS3 are working perfect with the connection. My PC is direct connected to the wireless router. My PC however is working at a slower rate than dial up. It takes forever for sites to come up. Once a particular site loads, if you surf w/in that site it will go a little faster, if you try to go to a different website it takes forever. I have checked my firewalls and that doesnt seem to be the problem. Time Warner has also come over and says that it is a computer issue. I have also done a system restore and started over from scratch, still this problem remains. I really need this PC to not be so slow. My laptop is an Apple and I do not like doing my work from it.

Answer 1

So your machine does connect, just not fast.  Try clearing your dns.  Go to start then run and type cmd and hit enter.

Then type ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter.

Answer 2

It sounds like you have a virus, but after a restore it should have gotten its speed back up. Try using WinAso Registry

Cleaner and Ultimate Defrag, between these two you should see an improvement.

Answer 3

Unplug your router, wait a few seconds and plug it back in.

Unplug your DSL (or cable) modem, wait a few seconds and plug it back in as well.

If this doesn't clear up the problem then it's a problem with your PC.

If it does clear up the problem then you know it's either a bad modem (one of the two you have) or a bad connection from your house to the first 'node' that you reach out in the internet world.  :)
