Solved Firewalls

I was having a problem with slow loads, freeze ups, and my games freezing.

WELL I finally figured it out on my own!!!!!!!! HP support, Norton support, here, talking to tons of friends in the know and no one said hey dude you might have two firewall running.

I had two firewalls running at the same time. DAH!! Windows vista firewall and Norton's 360 firewall.

I shut down Windows firewall and wala!!!!! New PC is screaming.. I'm so elated you can't realize.

So folks if your having some problems you can't figure out just check to see how many firewalls you got going.

Oh and a firewall on the router to. But I put a switch in place of that.

I figured I would keep Norton's 360 firewall as to keep all my security in the same place. I assume that's a good choice. Anyone with me?

SIR VORTEX USA.<--says such a basic 101 rule. I feel like a fool and a hero to myself at the same time.
