Finally fast

Files were unchanged.Then I rebooted and repeated all this, but without redirecting the output into a log file and just watched. On both fast and slow there is perhaps 8 seconds latency before the first output line and the results are still identical. When I then do tracert again on the fast machine there is zero latency before the first line output while on the slow machine there is the same 8-12 second latency every time every time I do this. So it looks like the fast machine is caching dns information and doesn't have to look this up every time while the slow machine apparently has to start from scratch every time.tracert 207.46.197.32has 20 seconds latency on fast and slow machines, probably due to multiple dns lookups, but the results are the same as when using domain names.So this again appears to point clearly at a dns issue, which was what I said when I first posted more than a month ago.With these results does it still look like wireshark is likely enough to provide the answer that I should add that to the mix? Or is there anything other than reformat and reinstall that can fix dns?Thanksp.s. A Google forXP repair dnsled me to claims this fixed his problems every time and which leads towinsockfix.exeWhen all scans claimed that was clean I tried it.Ping stopped working, nslookup stopped working, tracert stopped working, browser stopped working. I thought it had killed the networking on the box. Finally I figured out that it had decided to substitute DHCP, which leads nowhere here, for my static IP, which will work, replaced my 250kbyte adblocking HOSTS file with a single line for localhost, changed other things in the TCP/IP settings and I don't know what other damage it did. I finally figured
