Weird problem with a "new" computer
I set up a new computer for my in-laws, and I'm having trouble getting it connected online. It worked perfectly fine at my house, and when I took it over, it seemed fine. It booted a little slow and took a while to get connected via a wired connection directly to their FIOS router. I got an IP, and could open google.com but no other websites would load completely. I'd get the title bar and the background...then it would stop. Chrome did the same thing. If I would refresh the page a few times, it would sometimes fully load. I was able to download new Intel network drivers for the Intel 82566DC-2 connection and load them, with no change.
The PC in question is as follows:
Intel Q8300 proc
Intel DG33FB motherboard
Nvidia GT 520 card
4 GB Crucial memory
Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
We tried a Dell laptop and it couldn't get a connection by the same cable at all, and an older tower with the same Intel onboard network card works fine. The cable is connecte directly to the FIOS router, which has been reset several times.
I'm running out of options to try, aside from buying a new mobo and giving that a shot. I'm trying to dig up some of my old PCI network cards to try.
Any suggestions?
