You tried what exactly at a friend's hosue? What was the same and what
different? Did you take your computer over? Or did you load something on the
friend's computer and try it?
Are you running any sort of firewall, proxy, filtering software, etc.? Does
it matter what web page you first go to or how long you stay there?
I admit this is quite strange and I'd just like to have the best picture of
exactly what you've checked. Thanks.
PS - It's tempting to think parasites might be behind this strange behavior,
but I can't think of any specific ones that behave this way. Nontheless, you
might want to check out
