Web browsers crawling

[Zeph]

Greets -

User has a new PowerBook G4/867 running OS 9.22, and when she goes to
browse the web -- IE, Netscape, makes no difference -- sites crawl
open, if they don't timeout altogether.

Other users on the same network are not experiencing the problem; and
as mentioned, this occurs regardless of which browser is used.

I thought perhaps the DNS servers were the issue -- not near the
machine now to compare its DNS entries with the others on the network
-- but the browsers seem to translate the IP address pretty easily
before they make a connection to a site and then bog down during
downloading.

Email shows no lag when downloading messages from a POP server.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks,
z

I'd look at the DNS entry and at any proxy settings, see where the
differences are.

What does the console say?
