Did you taking too much time to access your favorite sites?
Probably the problem is on the server used by those sites. To make sure that is the problem, use Windows PING facility.
Ping is a small program, which sends a 32-bit signal to the Web site server. Next, Ping record the time needed by the server to answer it.
To activate Ping:
Click on the Start-Run menus, type command, and then click OK. Type PING "site name" in the MS-DOS prompt window, for example PING www.yahoo.com.
In a moment, the result will appear on the screen. A result less than 300ms is normal speed while a result more than 400ms is slow speed.
If "Request timed out" message appears on the screen that means the Web site server is not responding in one second. Probably it happens because the server is too slow, or designed on purpose not to respond to the ping test, or you forgot to specify your name server addresses in the TCP/IP settings dialog box.
