    As soon as you do a format you should always install drivers. Either from discs that came with the laptop or by downloading them from the net. I'm presuming your network cards drivers need updating.

    Why do you have to use IE6? Do you normally use IE? Try Firefox or Chrome and see if that makes a difference.

    Even though you did a factory restore your wireless network may need its drivers updated. If its been a while since you use the laptop, you may have only been using 56K or ADSL, but I presume you are on a ADSL2+ connection?

    Do me a favor and go to Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test and check your connection speed and let me know what it says. Just click the Begin Test button when you get there.
