This is driving me nuts, as i've never had this problem before and don't know how to cure it. So before i reinstall XP, i need some advice.

Basically, whenever i load a web page, in either firefox or IE, it refuses to load. In firefox i get a 'server not found' error, while in IE i get a 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' error. Its as though im trying to load a page that doesn't exist or while im not connected to the internet. When i click on refresh/reload button, the page will then load like it should, though sometimes i have to click on refresh/reload a number of times. This happens with EVERY site, no matter whether i type in the page address, or click from a bookmark, or click from a link inside a web page.

I seem to download at my normal speeds, and both browsers im using are the latest available at the moment. I've done a virus scan as well as a spyware scan, and nothing has come up, so im lost. Any ideas?
