This might be a well known problem but I lack the jargon to know what to search for.

I'm running IE5 on a Win98 (version 2) machine. My connection is via Freeserve on a BT UK phoneline.

Once IE is up and running if I click on a link it takes several minutes for anything to load. According to the window monitoring by bits in/out, the IP request is not being sent. Eventually IE wakes up, the request is sent and all follows normally.

Any idea what's causing this and what can be done?

Thanks in advance

Col.
