Accessing Internet Problem

I'm running Windows 2000 over a network. For the past 2-3 days, I’ve noticed it takes 21 seconds for me to open my Internet Explorer (V6, SP1). Also, if I click on a link in my e-mail, it takes that long for the related website to open, but a dialog box “Locate Link Browser” also opens, looking for an executable file in “My Documents”. Either of these functions also locks up my computer during the 21 seconds. I also notice that now when I boot up, and it gets to the Windows 2000 main screen (after log-in), the DOS window that normally appears and disappears in the blink of an eye now shows for about 8-10 seconds and looks like something’s having to retry before it's found? I have run my anti-virus, CCleaner, Windows update, and rebooted, but I still have the same problem. No one else on the network is having the problem, so I don't believe it's a network problem. What else should I look for?
