| | Slow internet browsing I have tried everything to figure out why vista is taking so long to access websites on the internet. I have another machine on the home network using XP and it does not have any problems. So I am pretty sure it is not the ISP or DSN Server. I experience the same problem on both IE and Firefox. I have disabled the firewall protection both in Windows and the third party software I have and nothing changes. In looking at the status message on the browser, the delays seem to occur while "Looking up www.xxx.com". Also, I have to stop and refresh the page because the loading hangs up. Its almost like something is examining the site before allowing it to connect. Can someone please help me as I really like Vista but this really sucks. Thanks Jim |

| | Re: Slow internet browsing Do you have the phishing filter enabled? I am seeing similar issues, I'm also considered turning off the checkbox for "Automatically detect proxy settings" "Jim Easton" <eastonfamily@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3C291F61-7A89-41DA-96CE-C128A3CCF792@xxxxxx Quote: > I have tried everything to figure out why vista is taking so long to > access websites on the internet.
