Me either mate, pings fine and mails will send and recieve just a massive hang each time of probably 4-5 minutes, wierd reason I feel they are connected in some way is that similar happened about 3 years back when the then desktop fried it's HDD. When I replaced the HD at that time, Outlook on the lappy worked fine again........got me confused to say the least.

Sorted BG wins the prize, too many damn USB connections, although nothing added for around 14 months, so why decide today to not work ?
And the wierdest part.................Outlook on the laptop is now working fine again, coincidence? i think not but have no frikking idea why it should be so.

Have you changed your router recently?
I had a similar problem when we changed routers at work - for some reason certain web pages just wouldn't load or loaded very slowly with no graphics. I eventually solved it by turning off the firewall on the router. Seemed to be interfering with the built-in Windows 7 firewall for some reason.
Laptop works fine everywhere else (besides the RLFans page not loading issue), not changed router recently. Am running on Vista (groan) but until recently everything was ok, seriously baffled. Will try an uninstall on all browsers and check firewall settings (even though they have not been altered in ages).
I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

You're not running any kind of proxy software on the desktop are you? It looks like the laptop is using the desktop to route traffic?
BTW - I get the wont boot with USB attached about once a year - weird!
Having a bit of a problem with my laptops wireless.
It is connecting to the router, with full signal, but with no internet access. All other wireless devices (phone, iPod etc) work fine so I can only assume it's a problem with my laptop.
The internet works fine on my laptop when plugged into the router too.

Well, that didn't work so am still open to any remedy.
