Field Note #1 @Taisto 2009-05-26

Does this problem appear only while using Safari ? Have you tried FireFox or Opera for Mac OS X ? Try those and tell if the problem is present only on Safari, or on all browsers.

Field Note #2 @thorazine74 2009-05-28

It could be useful if you say what method you use to connect to the internet?
If its through a network card the brand and model and if you have a working and speedy local network working could be useful too.

Field Note #3 @xXrkidXx 2009-05-29

it would be way more helpful if you told us what the Ethernet card is...

Eg. Intel PRO VE 100(my ethernet card)
