Vista's Firewall & Parental Control

When I configure Vista's firewall: "Outbound connections that do not match a
rule are blocked" and have Parental Controls set to "Block some websites or
content" and "Block web content automatically (any content level above
"none")", Parental Controls blocks access to ALL websites. Note that my
browser is allowed to make the connection ... it is the individual website
that is being blocked by Parental Controls. Note also, that there is a check
box in Parental Controls labeled "Only allow websites which are on the allow
list" - this box is NOT checked.

If I reset Vista's firewall to "Outbound connections that do not match a
rule are allowed" OR disable Parental Control web filtering, the problem goes
away.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
