Fast connection, SLOW BROWSERS!
Ok, running an iMac 10.5.4, 2Gigs of RAM, no problems before.
I have 3 machines hooked up through my router, this MAC, a 4 year old piece of junk PC laptop, and my PS3.
For whatever reason the laptop is (we have a 10+MBPS connection) blazingly fast surfing the web (both MAC and PC are using FireFox2, not 3), its far faster than the Mac.
What happens is, lets say on both I load a fresh page, the PC will load it up instantly, the mac will wait a few seconds while it says "looking up" in the browser and then load, but it loads noticeably slower (about 2-3 full seconds) than the PC.
Is there any settings in the Network I need to fiddle with? The PS3 and the PC are working fine through the net, but for whatever reason the Mac is slow going on the browser. I have tried Safari 3 and Firefox 3 and they both do the same thing!
Its very frustrating because the Mac is my main computer, the laptop is in another room and its never used for web browsing. I would really appreciate any help on this. Its driving me nuts.
