Network problem

[Mozzer]

Right, it seems i'm having a network problem.
There is a PC upstairs with the router next to it. The internet works fine on that PC as far as i know.
Downstairs PC is having problems with the internet, pages load slow, sometimes not at all..
Don't know what it is at all so im asking for any suggestions?

How are they Connected? Wired or wireless? 10 Mbs or 100?
Any other problems? File transfer ok? Can you ping machines without problems?

[Mozzer]

Wired.
100Mbps
Sending files to other machines is fine.

What operating system is the downstairs machine running?
Try a tracert to a website - command prompt and "tracert <website>".

Shows you every step along the way. Is the machine downstairs using the same DNS settings as the upstairs machine?

Ye I would say check your DNS settings.
