Strange Internet Problem

My network setup is as follows:
Verizon FIOS-->DI-604 Router-->Computer connected through Ethernet around house.

Internet works perfectly with every other computer in the house except for just this one machine.

I just rebuilt my machine with a new foxconn m7vmx-k intel board, c2d e6300 and XP MCE 2005. The mobo has an integrated gigabit card. The internet worked fine for a few days before things started getting wacky:

At random times internet just acts wacky for periods of 20 minutes or so. When I try to go to any website (using either Firefox2 or IE7) pages load REALLY slowly if at all. Otherwise the pages just stay loading. Strangely, google text search works just fine, and I can load other google pages such as google maps, but if I try to zoom in maps just won't load.

pinging some sites such as google.com or yahoo.com returns 4 normal replies. pinging otheres such as cnn.com returns one normal ping and then "request times out". AIM stays connected for a while and disconnects until finally all returns to normal and everything works just fine again.

I had Avira Security suite before and I thought the firewall might be causing trouble but I've since completely removed it and disabled any firewall even XP's and it still happens.

I've ruled out the connection because plugging the same cable into another computer works just fine but plugging it back in doesn't solve it.

I suspect some network issue on the computer itself but I've never run into a problem like this before. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. Thanks.
