A couple things:
-Describe the network you're on a little.
-Look at the processes in your Task Manager. Is something hogging the CPU? What happens in the Task Man. when your unplug the network cable?
-Try connecting the computer in a different place with a diff. network connection. Same result? Then you'll know it's the computer and not the network.
-Connect a diff. computer to the network connection the bad one was on. Poor performance? Then you know it's not the computer.
Let me know if you need help going from there.

1. START > RUN
2. In the OPEN box input MSCONFIG
3. Click OK

This will help to determine if something's rotten in the startup. Could be something nasty like Mal-ware.

Keep in mind that msconfig is not a quick fix tool and action within causes immediate change.

msconfig is also not a diagnostic program. Unless you have previous administrative or troubleshooting experience with it then wait until you know why the issue is occuring before you try to resolve it with this. Hastily making changes in msconfig can just as easily worsen the problem.

i would run ipconfig /all at a cmd prompt on a workstation that works right and compare it to this one. you may have dns misconfigured
