Very very slow internet on only one computer (dns issue?)
Hi,
I just installed a sabrent wifi card into my desktop. I downloaded the latest drivers, it seemed to install without problems. The card picks up networks (sometimes slowly, though), and shows them as healthy connections and everything looks normal.
I can connect to my network, but the internet is so slow. It takes about 1-2 minutes to load google. I've checked the connection properties & also ipconfig /all and compared it to the settings on my laptop (which works fine), and everything looks pretty much the same.
If I use 'automatically obtain dns servers', it defaults to the same dns servers that my laptop uses, but when I diagnose the connection I get the 'Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding.' If I change my DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4, it gets rid of the error and everything looks good, but it doesn't help out the internet speed at all.
I've tried flushing and releasing and renewing my dns in the command prompt, I've reset and power cycled the router about a billion times, I've re-installed the hardware & driver a few times, nothing seems to work. Mini virtual wifi server thing doesn't show up in my device properties. Here's what ipconfig /all shows:

the DNS servers are what I get if I automatically obtain them. As I mentioned, this works flawlessly on my laptop.
can anyone help me out with this?
