open up explorer at the top click on tools under the general tab you should see temporary internet file click on setting ,then check the box automatically. that should fix it.
then clear files and set to 80 MB to use

Sounds like a dns server problem. The server does not have the desired address in its cache, and by the time it obtains it your browser has timed out.

I believe that there is a registry setting that can be changed to increase the expiration time. Try help.microsoft.com

when you say the dns server is that mean it's on bellsouth side, i just build another computer and install Win98 and i'm getting the same problem

That's interesting cos I get this too. I've tried all sorts to fix it. First time fails but hitting refresh works. I use XP.
