Very slow internet: seems related to machine, not ISP

I use Charter high speed to connect to the internet. My computer says that it's running at 10 mbps, which is what it's supposed to do.

I'm running Windows XP SP2. This problem is about a month old.

When I try to connect to the web, via ie 7, Firefox 1.5.0.11, or Opera 9.01, my first attempt will often time out. Usually when I click the "Try Again" button in Firefox, or do the analagous action in the other browswers, the connection opens immediately. But very frequently, I have to go through doing it twice, as I've just described.

I run ZoneAlarm, but I've had it for a long time, and this issue is pretty new ('bout a month).

Other apps don't seem to be effected by this; they run just like they always have, as far as I can tell.

I've posted a HijackThis log below, as well as a couple of other logs generated by AVG and Panda.

Please advise.

Thanks,
R
