Ok, so recently I got a bunch of spyware on my home PC (standalone), but removed it nicely. However I have had slow Internet on and off since then (slow 80% of the time, by slow I mean it will go along fine for 10 minutes then get slow for like 15 minutes, then fail to load a page for about 5 minutes).
Interesting thing is that when I use my laptop (plugged in the same switch as my desktop, which runs through a wireless ethernet bridge about 40 feet downstairs to another bridge and a router), it does the same thing. So I don't think it's an issue on my PC like I originally thought.
MAIN POINT:
My setup is with a Linksys 4portswitch/Router. It seems to take a really long time to resolve a host name. Even with google sometimes IE will just say "resolving 68.34.63.109 (for example) and can't resolve the name. Any ideas what's up with this thing?
