It seems your DNS lookup is intermittently slow. I'd log into the router/web gateway (192.168.1.1 in your browser or so) and run the DNS lookup diagnostic test - if it is shows similar behaviour, you will know it's a problem with your internet provider. I used to see such problems in the past and IIRC they always cleared up upon talking to the provider.

I actually have two routers, and in neither could I find the DNS test you mention. However, on the same LAN I have three MSWin boxes, two XP and one 2k, and none of these have exhibited the same problem. Does this not rule out the provider?
