slow conection using leopard

Hi!

I have a Macbook 2.2 with Leopard and a ISP conection wih 2MB speed. I´m having some internet problems, the pages take minutes to open and it is very slow sometimes.
recently I instaled VM Fusion and Ubuntu in a virtual desktop. I tried to open internet in ubuntu using the same conection that mac does, and it is very diferent. Much more fast... Why it works in a virtual machine and not in the native machine...?

I use a D-link Router trough my Airport.

Can you help me??

Thanks

If your mac is having an issus with your DNS, that could cause a slowdown. Try using OpenDNS for testing.

These DNS servers will not cause any more vulnerability than your ISP's DNS servers. If this doesn't fix your problem, you can use your ISP's DNS servers. I'm just trying to see if this could be causing an issue.
