What did you change on your computer around the time the problem started to occur?
And when you say you tried everything in the article, this includes the steps with cfg, right?

You mention a dial up connection, did you ensure that you are still properly connected to the internet when these problems arise (e.g. by navigating somewhere you've not been before in the browser)?

Please go to Start->Run and type: cmd
then do: ping hub.byond.com
also try: ping byond1.byond.com

If those fail, try the command: ipconfig /flushdns
and then redo the ping tests.

Report results here.

Thank you in advance.

Strange, it should not change anything, it was simply for diagnose.
This would indicate issues with your internet connection, similar to mine, where sometimes (with me depending on the weather) it breaks down to very, very slow.

Which, like I said, is an indication of a bad connection (high packet loose, low transfer rate).
