    I have a home network set up with 3 windows XP machine’s and a windows 7 machine.
    I also have two Disk network HD DVR Receiver’s hooked to this network.
    I come out of my modem to a Linksys 4 port router (model BEFSR41)
    I come out of my router with 3 cat5e cables that run to my expansion board
    ( that feed each room) One Cat 5e run’s to feed my switch my switch
    ( 8 port D-Link DES 1108 Switch) The switch feed 2 tv DVR’s and my windows 7 system.
    I did a hard drive wipe on the 3 xp machines within the last week. My problem is this I did the clean install on the xp machine due to weak or can’t finish loading web pages problem.
    I found that I could not get XP to run updated would not connect, I went to option and had it to allow web pages connect. This failed still could not update. So I then went and feed the modem directly into my expansion connecting the computer I wanted to run updates on bypassing the router. It worked. I was able up get windows updated on each xp machine this way ( bypassing to router).
    I am still having trouble that each xp machine is running slow or can’t finishing loading
    Web page going thru the router.
    At the same time my windows 7 machine is running fast and can update going thru the router. My router has been in use for about 6 years.
    Anyone have a thought as to why my xp machine would have that loading problem only when it is going thru the router, and why it affects only xp and not the 7 system?

    The reason I ask is because some modems have built in routers with NAT. DSL modems are like that and yours may be too, If so, you are "double nat'ing, which will cause problems. Your modem may have a DHCP server already and so does your router.

    To verify, access the router and view the status section. The router WAN IP address should be a routable address, not a local address like 192.168.x.x.
