Try using different DNS servers. In fact, everyone should consider switching to OpenDNS (http://opendns.org). You will notice your internet connection being more 'zippy' because web addresses will resolve much faster. opendns servers are refreshed more often than an ISP and they have many more servers so it is more likely you can use one close to you. they also offer good protection from black listed websites if you choose that to take advantage of it.

Anyway, to make a long story short, use the DNS servers below:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Also, check out opendns.org for more information. it is a really great free resource, i highly recommend it for everyone.

edit:

i also want to point out, if you use a router, you will want to update the DNS servers on your router instead of your computer. if you don't use a router, you can just update them locally on your computer.

if it is locally on your computer it is similar to the path below, i am on a mac right now so i cant look at the exact steps but it is very similar to below:

(network connections --> local area connection (or wireless connection) --> tcp-ip --> manual DNS)

I did that and it made my whole Internet not work............?

To everyone, I think the reason for this whole problem is due to errors with Internet explorer 7, so I updated to Internet explorer 8 beta. Let me tell you that it is great and anyone with IE should download this. It is a lot faster too
