If you have the problem, and there are many people who do, this "might" help you like it helped me.

Background - My laptop on XP is what has the issue. It has an internal wireless adapter disabled and I'm running a wirless D-Link N card on it instead. I have my computers all set up with their own static IP addresses.

Here's what I did...

Before I start I will say that I did disable the DNS-Prefetching option withing Chromes settings as Google suggests months ago to no avail.

Today I went into Wireless Network Connections - Properties - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - Properties. I Disabled the automatic setting and entered all the info on this page (except secondary DNS server). You can get this info from running ipconfig/all. This didn't do it alone but then I went into Advanced - WINS tab and then switched it from the default to Enable NetBios of TCP/IP. Bingo.

Hope this helps someone else. If it does, please let me know. :beer

Sweet! I have been trying to decide between FF and Chrome, this might just seal the deal; Chrome works great now - thanks for the fix!

You could probably just disable netbios under WINS as well.

Good to see it wasn't just me!
