Machine: Compaq 6300 Celeron, 1.7ghz, 1 gig memory, Xp home sp2.

Problem: very slow response if any for network and internet. It is running
on a network with about 15 computers all of which, except this one, is
working fine for networking and internet. In safe mode with networking it
works fine. I have disabled plugins, done a complete virus, etc scan with
Trend PC icillen. I have made sure that the network settings are the same as
in a unit which works.

I have restored the operating system and updated to sp2. Strangely this unit
showed the same problems before restoring and upgrading.

One other clue: the green lights in the network icon in the taskbar don't
stay on for any length of time as in the other computers. Instead they falsh
on for a half second or so and then do not light up again for a minute or
more.

Any ideas??
