    Hi

    To follow on from DomLucs advice, and he is correct on well maintained system, but things to check are, and update or possibly remove


    Update
    Antivirus
    Adobe Flash
    Adobe Shockwave
    Sun Java Runtime

    Update/Remove
    any toolbar!


    Also if you cannot connect first time then check ZoneAlarms applications menu to make sure its been allowed, past the firewall.
