6. If it is a DU server problem, then why does it not affect Linux using Firefox?

I can go to DU on the Linux machine and find the slow thread and have it up, while the Win 7 machine is still waiting. And this IS while I am waiting for the Win 7 machine to load the page.
I'm not discounting what you said, but why the difference in performance between the two OP's?
Both machine are plugged into adjacent ports on the same switch.

Edited to add: Skinner has denied there is a problem. So what you are saying, maybe that is the problem, because it is not being recognized by the Admin?
