What exactly goes wrong? Do you get a 404 message?
 
It says address not found. The site for instance, that i am trying to get to pull up is www.ksl.com . Pulls up fine on my wifes PC like I said. And she is using Firefox as well.
 
Thought I would add that surfing has also slowed to a snails pace! My wifes PC is on the same network and its cruising so I know its not that.
 
That site pops right up for me. Sounds like a WiFi issue. If you're using wireless, try plugging directly into your router with an ethernet cable to see if things change. If you're back up to speed, then you need to fiddle with your WiFi settings (like changing the channel, maybe).
 
Ok I went in and checked all the WIFI stuff. I went through and re set-up my network through diagnostics. It then was back to normal. BUT after loading maybe 3 or 4 pages it went back to the way it was. I went back in and set it up again and yet again it was back to normal. Yet again after 3 or four pages it went back to crawling. When I pull up diagnostics ISP is orange then goes green right away. Internet, and server are both orange. After I start setting it up they both change to green again but unless I go through the whole thing, it wont work.

While it was working it pulled up the site I mentioned above with zero issues.
