Hi Roy, Can you hit a small file on your server? I.e. create an HTML file with just "hi" in it. It may be you're into swap space on your home machine. 'dows/IE are REALLY bad about low mem performance. I was on a project a few years back where load time went >1 minute from the normal few seconds once the 'dows box had all of its RAM allocated to processes. Softie fubar'ed the memory management sometime in the last several releases of their OS and IE has never been responsible with memory management. Now 'dows performance literally a joke (unless you're the dolt running two instances of WebLogic and trying to meet deadlines *-( ). Our setup was all within the same LAN. Also, haven't mucked wiht IE in a while but it doesn't free RAM for images if the page is navigated away from before the page completes loading. That was a while back too. FF worked fine but Opera had the best memory management where images were concerned. I understand the minimum requirements for Vista are above what 99.9% of the PC's have. What's worse, it drops down to lower featured versions without asking the user so you can be running on Vista cheapo release whereas you purchased Vista big-and-bad or whatever they are calling their various versions - I also understand they have 9. And I thought tracking distros was tough!
