windows 7 question

[kookiegod]

I am having the oddest problem, and not sure whom to blame. I got a new ibuypower computer in January with win7 pro installed and recently, i got issues when I try to open a new tab, it just says connecting...and hangs.

Ditto if I try to click on a link on gmail, or other apps that try to open a new window. Even more curiously, if i leave pandora streaming, the window will die.

I assume its my ISP and a latency issue, and I should call at bitch @ Comcast, but before I waste a ton of time with Indian speaking techs who tell me to unplug the router and wait, and then reboot the computer (sheesh, I know that people...)

Any chance its my rig? A setting in win7 I can check (don't know as much as I should yet, but been busy with school and my new company setup).

Thanks~

You should probably mention what browser you are using. Because you didn't I'm just going to assume IE. I would try another browser to verify a connection issue.

Contacting Comcast is going to be a waste of time.

Reset IE settings to default (both the advanced settings and the master reset) to start with.

Celephais also suggested a good step to try to pin down what's causing this.

Yah, IE, ok, I'll do that and test out with Chrome and report back.

It would be painful.
