Hi, I have a work laptop that i have just noticed times out on using the internet. I am currently using internet explorer 7. It is fine for 5 minutes and if i reboot it works again for another 5 minutes. If i run trace route or ping google that all seems to work fine. It also works for https and ftp so can go to secure sites just not http?!.

Anything anyone can help me at all would be greatly appreciated.

Things I have tried so far:
Reinstalled internet explorer
virus scan
spybot

Hi Sorry for lack of information should have also said have tried rebooting the router. I have about 4 laptops in the house and they are all fine its just my work laptop that won't work. I think it might be software related i think will need to reinstall windows but would rather not as would have to resetup sql and loads of other stuff
