Definitely a Hub, DS108 model under hubs on the netgear website.
No drastic changes, it just randomly started this morning. OS is WinXP, all programs have been installed in excess of a month, but they're all basic stuff, IE 6, Norton antivirus, and everything that came from the factory ( MS's basic software like Works, money manager, media player).
Adobe reader and some medical software (downloading readings from blood glucose monitors) are the only software that's been added since we took it out of the box, plus Microsoft updates.
I can try eliminating the router and hub, i think, though that's really honestly way beyond my expierence (e.g. plugging in a DSL line at home) The problem happens when I'm connected to the Internet, but it's not solely internet apps. MS works, Control Panel, My Computer, any window/folder, et al is doing the same thing.
Someone I'm talking to tonight insists I check the RAM... I'm about ready to just reformat the f-er.
