Jeremy's read-only solution is fine for part 1 of your request. The slow down when you access the web means either that you don't have enough local resources -- RAM and temp space, but probably RAM -- to run multiple demanding applications, or that your network connection is to narrow and is bogging down trying to move FM data across your LAN (you have files / graphics on a server) and Internet data at the same time.
