Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!
Unfortunately, there are any number of things that could cause this -- it's a rather non-specific problem. I'd suspect that any server that took 30 seconds to serve a page would probably crash all the time, thus drawing attention to itself from the technical support team.
Some things that could cause long delays, from the outside in:
Rotten Internet connection
Non-cacheable page with too many included images
Slow and improperly-configured DNS
Incorrect configuration of server in httpd.conf (causing a redirect loop)
Incorrect configuration of directories in .htaccess (causing a redirect loop)
Faulty scripting, e.g. PHP or PERL (looping or causing lots of non-fatal errors)
Excessive checking of reverse-DNS of requestor's IP addresses
Meta-refresh on page - intentional
Meta-refresh on page - hacked/hijacked page
Lots of other things I can't think of :)
The first step to take is to see what a 'raw' request/response looks like. Try accessing your page by its complete and correct URL using this Server Headers Checker [webmasterworld.com] tool. You might also want to try accessing your site by its IP address, if you have a unique/non-shared IP address for your site.
Look for 301 and 302 redirects, rather than the expected 200-OK response (try other sites and compare, too).
If this doesn't shed some light on the problem, and your hosting service is no help, please post some more 'background' info on your server set-up - that might help get better answers.

I have a cable modem I go to a Specific ip, I don't have a address tied to the ip address.
It really isn't a web page. Well I have it so when you go to port 80 it is just a black page so there is not alot of graphics... I have folders that hold pictures for myself, and people can download them. I will try what you said, but I am just letting you know a little background on this...

Respond time 21 seconds...
Is everything here ok?
That response looks fine. I'm at a loss to say why your server is so slow. :(
Hopefully, someone else will check in here with some ideas.

Looks likely the problem is with Windows on the server (memory leaks?). Didn't spot any solutions (apart from Linux...) but presumably somebody has found one somewhere.
Than I look a little further and I see this... Whats this mean?
[Tue Dec 30 19:28:54 2003] [error] [client 64.68.82.7] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/robots.txt

Any Idea's? I don't know what scripts... all that other stuff is. What is someone trying to request that directory or file?
Thanks, Mark
Some of those errors are 404 errors from someone looking for Front Page exstions that don't exsist or that people accessing port 80 on your machine, don't have access to.
So either your site is slow cause some one is hammering on it, or you have an issue with Apache and XP as was noted earlier in this thread.
{Edit}
Do a google on your last set of errors. Its a memory problem which would explain the sometimes slow or no responce.
I myself would stick to Apache 1.3.xx on windows just yet.
I run 1.3.2x on mine.
1.3 apache.exe has a block dos like screen that says apache is running
Is that all it gives me?
Look in your start menu, there links to everything you need.
