Question : 'Page cannot be displayed' until I hit enter twice

I have to refresh a web page twice before it loads correctly.   I used IE and Firefox, but have this problem on both apps.  It gives me a ' page cannot be displayed; Cannot find server or DNS Error' error.

This WinXP sp3 workstation is connected on a LAN using a DOMAIN.  Use COMCAST as internet provider with their modem & Netgear VPN Router.  No firewall on workstation.

This problem appeared after we moved our internet service from AT&T T1 to COMCAST.  Thanks!

If it does turn out to be a DNS server issue with Comcast, you do not have to use Comcast servers for DNS, or Google's or Level3's.

I recommend you run some tool such as GRC's DNSBench at http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm or Google's namebench at http://code.google.com/p/namebench/ to find the fastest DNS servers for your location. I would also rerun these tools periodically because things do change.
