I have this problem as well.
At first I thought it was my router so I switched routers. I was thinking today I
would switch netcards and see if this helps at all....however...
The problem started about the time my other major xp annoyance started (2x pagedown
scrolling) - right after I installed an xp security patch. Could it be just a bad
xp patch??
