This is probably oldhat for most of you, but I wanted to share a tip for anyone who doesn't normally use DOS commands. I used it a few minutes ago to clear up the picture loading issue on my laptop.
Anyone having problems loading pics while on the board may wish to research and consider resetting your network connection. It takes but a keystrokes on any standard windows machine in the Command Prompt Window
C:\ipconfig /all [press ENTER]
from any Command Prompt type ipconfig /all" as below press the enter''' key
wait, 5-10 seconds, much data will flood the screen, then a new command prompt will be displayed
C:\ipconfig /release [press ENTER]
Now type ipconfig /release and press enter
Wait, 5-10 seconds, moar data will flow, and the command prompt will return again
C:\ipconfig /renew [press ENTER]
Now type ipconfig /renew" and press enter'''
Wait a few more seconds and your IP connection will be reset and your IP Address, Subnet information, etc will be displayed.
There is no know risk in performing this procedure unless your machine requires a static IP address, which is unlikely. You many now find your browser experience much improved.
