ThrashZone et als - Sorry if I didn't explain what I did properly. I performed a Clean Startup exactly as described in the link you sent. All items unchecked and disabled as instructed. After restart, the same symptoms occurred. First attempt to connect with zerohedge.com for example, worked fine. After that.... nada... back to the timeout issues. As I previously mentioned, most other websites (this one included) load without a problem. One contributor suggested it might be a torrent blocking issue. I don't think any website I go to is related to torrent. Same for both IE and chrome. So I reverted back to normal startup mode.
