Recently upgraded an XP home system to SP3 from SP1.

It keeps having a problem where it won't connect to websites, hit the refresh button a few times and eventually the page will load.

DNS didn't change between upgrades, all was well prior to upgrade. I am afraid that removing the Service Pack might break it more so I have refrained until it is the last resort option.

All nslookups work and come out correctly. I can even ping internet addresses during the duration of the connection issue and it never times out.

I used WinSock fix and that did no good either.

Probably am just going to have to get a fresh image ready for this machine.

Suggestions? Thoughts?
 
Uninstall SP3. We have had a few computers in the shop that XP SP3 didn't play well with the network drivers. You can try a slip-streamed SP3 install and see how that works, run a repair maybe. Otherwise just wipe it and start over.
