Strange Internet issue

[kangtin]

I've been having this strange internet issue where certain pages would load and then at other times my internet would be super slow and nothing would load or load halfway. I even get the cannot find page error. But if I refresh and reload, I can see the page again after several attempts. I already replaced my modem and I am still getting the error.

I noticed this in my modem log.

Please help. This problem is so frustrating and I thought my replacement modem would make it better. Turns out it wasn't even the modem.

[LookinAround]

Try turning off IPv6. See if that makes a difference. If you're running Win 7 see HERE.

Note MS provides fixits to disable/enable IPv6 in that link. If you're running XP, google disable ipv6 xp to find instructions. (IPv6 is a network protocol that can cause more problems then is worth and usually not really needed anyway. IPv4 is the old standard)

Ok disabled, ill see how it goes. But why would it matter now? I mean my network has been fine until very recently. Like about 3 weeks ago I noticed the issue.
