Probably not the fault but check this:
In "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc"
Open the file hosts (no file extension) in notepad.
The only row without a #-mark (comment) should be:
127.0.0.1 localhost
This file can be used to redirect traffic. Some put IP's to advertising servervs in there to stop that traffic. Any errors in it could stop pages from working, but hardly slow them down though.
When you have a problem with a certain webpage. Can you get that page quickly from the laptop while your stationary still is waiting?
And what did you intend to say here:
"the speed on the desktop doesn't seem to very at all when the laptop isn't connected so i'm guessing this is not the issue"
