A big thanks to all who replied. For an unknown reason, I took a look at the hosts file. It still had my laptop (wireless, xp) ip but had lost my (desktop, nic) ip . It had my host name and localhost associated with the localhost 127... ip. How that happened I don't know. After I restored hosts, it still ran slow. So, I reran the D-Link setup tool. I use the same config as before: DHPC is enabled, but it is set to always associate the same static ips with the MACs of both machines. The browser is now very fast! resolv.conf, network, -etho files all have the same setting as before. Mike
