Hi,
Since all browsers are involved, try disabling third-party security
programs. Turn on the Windows firewall (Control Panel> Windows Firewall) and
disable the third-party firewall (if running.) Disable Internet Security
type programs, anti-virus, ad-blockers, etc. briefly- just to test.

Have you tried a complete shutdown- modem, router, computer for a few
minutes?

I would try Opera browser also, Since you have a problem with IE and
FireFox, you also have problems with Netscape 8. Netscape 8 uses modules
from IE and Firefox.
