It seems your DNS lookup is intermittently slow. I'd log into
the
router/web gateway (192.168.1.1 in your browser or so) and run the DNS
lookup diagnostic test - if it is shows similar behaviour, you will know
it's a problem with your internet provider. I used to see such problems
in the past and IIRC they always cleared up upon talking to the
provider.

I actually have two routers, and in neither could I
find the DNS test you mention. However, on the same
LAN I have three MSWin boxes, two XP and one 2k, and
none of these have exhibited the same problem. Does
this not rule out the provider?
