There's no proxy, and it happens no matter what site I visit.

Does this happen on particular websites or all websites? Does it happen to sites at the University? Perhaps the University has a proxy server to route and control traffic to the Internet. There are some settings for setting up proxy settings in the IE Internet Options. I am not an expert in these settings since I have not done this in over 15 years. You might need to talk to a network administrator on campus to get information for this issue.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Puzzling Problem with Vista and Web Browsing


Hello all,
I'm running Vista Home Premium and I'm connected to my corporate university network via a LAN cable. My puzzling problem is that everything in terms of connectivity seems to be working great. I can send and receive e-mail, chat on MSN/Skype, download files, etc. The problem however is that when I try to browse the web, using both IE7 and FF3.0.5 I think, the pages either slowly load or time out after some time. This seems to be a persistent but random problem and I'm not sure where to go. The diagnose and repair feature isn't helping much (it either says "Windows could not detect any problems with the
network", or, when pages do time out it says "Windows can't repair the
problem automatically"). Other times, however, web pages load at expected
speeds. I don't have any of this with any of the wireless networks I use
either at home or at a friend's house. Should I speak to someone about this,
or is this in fact a Vista issue, probably a driver incompatibility, and
I'll just have to wait till 7 comes out? When I briefly tried 7 I don't
recall having any of these problems. All help would be greatly appreciated as it's certainly a mystery to me and is indeed frustrating, particularly if
I need to research something for an assignment or something.
