browser is "waiting for" a url quite frequently

Sep 21, 2006 0 Replies

TW cable in NYC.



I've been noticing a lag between clicking on a url, or a link and the site or web page starting to load. The bottom of the taskbar says "waiting for" and then the name of the url.



I'm using Win XP Pro - updated, Linksys router (wired for this computer) and Firefox. I've tried using IE and I seem to get the same "waiting for".



I've been using Treewalk - but I tried with and without it (using my normal isp lookup) and the same problem persists.



I've run several spyware and adware programs and my AV - all seems clean. I've emptied the cache - no difference.



What causes "waiting for" and what can I do about it?



TIA



Louise
