long wait for www... connection

Sometimes when I go to a site I see the message "waiting for www."fill in any name here".com and I never get connected. Other sites work just fine, still others may take a very long time. This has happened on some very large web sites. For example when I recently clicked on the amazon.com link: http://www.amazon.com/LG-VX-8350-Adv.../dp/8493881546 - 186k -
I had to wait over half an hour.

Is there something not setup correctly on my PC?

Sounds like it is "their" server being slow. Do most of the site you go to have normal load times?( Half hour...Wow!) I'm with you...Patience can be a virtue but...

Most sites I go to are very fast with no problem. This problem seems to be intermittent. It sometimes occurs on this forum and I see a message something like "transferring data from ads.peer39.com". Then my system just hangs there.
