Strange Download behavior

IE under Winxp Pro (new install) will download about the first 400KB of a
file on the internet in a second or two, then stop for a long time then
downloads the rest in dribs and drabs very slowly.

If I cancel the download after the first burst then start it again it now
down loads another 400KB or so then repeats the halt. Every time I cancel
and restart the same thing happens.

Anybody know how to fix this?
 
This may help...If not already running, go to the Computer Management
console>Services and Applications>Services. Make sure these 3 services are
running (set them to automatic): Application Layer Gateway Services, DNS
Client and IPSEC Services. Then go to "Run", type in "cmd" (without the
quotes). At the command prompt type this: ipconfig /release. When the
cursor moves to the next line type this: ipconfig /renew. Close the
window. Start your browser and see if this info worked. Good Luck.
