Check see if you have any firewalls that could be blocking it (zone alarm/norton/windows firewall)

go to tools, internet options, connection settings, and make sure it's automatically detect.

If you're using a router, check see if there's a router firewall that could be blocking it.

Delete the cookies folder contents and try to log on again. This will usually do the trick.....

The firewall would either block or allow. However, it won't make things run slow.
