how can i speed up my browser

I am currently sharing a DirecPC or Direcway connection with my dad and surfing the wed seems to be extremely sluggish on my computer compared to his computer. When he surfs the web, pages pop up almost instantly, but my pages take a while to load.

The connection is directly connected to his computer but it is networked to my computer via network switch hub through ethernet. Is there a way that i can possible speed up my browser? Downloads aren't slow @ all, but they're not as consistent and as fast as my dad's downloads.

Please help, thanks a lot.

Well, instead of speeding up your current browser you can download and try the fastest browser available: Opera 7

Yes, definate;y try a new browser, I prefer Mozilla (www.mozilla.org).

Yes defintely try Mozilla or Opera.

I would suggest you get a Netcaptor instead.

It has the same function, but it looks exactly like Internet Explorer.

Have a nice day!!!
