IE7 not resolving after SP1 install
After Vista SP1 installed a couple nights ago, browing to a website has come
to a crawl, taking 10 secs or more to load a simple page (if at all), and it would appear that the DNS is not resolving correctly (I always see the IP address in the lower left of Explorer -- not the resolved name). I disabled phishing filtering and defender but that didn't resolve the issue. Am on a simple Win2003 server SP1 domain, running DNS for a public website, and the usual ADS, DHCP, etc. A hardware firewall acts as my perimeter DNS router -- routing web 80 requests from the cable modem to the server's internal address on the network. Vista firewall is disabled. This config has been running fine for years w/o issue. My laptop, which is also Vista but not SP1, pops fine; and the Win2003 server the same -- IE 7 on both. Just the SP1 machine has this issue. Norton 360 AV on the 2 workstations and most of the software is the same for the Vista machines apart from the SP1. DHCP points only to Win2003 DNS for resolution -- not external DNS servers of my ISP. Of course the firebox has the external DNS nameserver addresses. Any ideas/thoughts? Thanks in advance (I cross-posted to IE7 as well) |

IE7 not resolving after SP1 install
Norton is likely causing your problem. Replace Norton with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows Defender. Disabling Norton is not enough. You need to completely uninstall it. If it doesn't solve the problem, get rid of Norton anyway. Norton is known to cause problems in which don’t always appear immediately. Download and run the Norton Removal Tool. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039 It's called "360" because Symantec's goal is complete ownership of your computer, and with even less communication about what it's trying to do or ways to configure it than ever before (which would only interfere with its goal.) That, along with Symantec's famous technical support, makes Norton 360 a disaster that I would only install on Granny's computer if she was going to disinherit me. ------- *Report back, please* [When responding to posts, please include the post(s) you are replying to so that others may learn and benefit from the issue] [How to ask a question] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Tom McNally" wrote in message ...

IE7 not resolving after SP1 install
Although I admit Norton 360 does have issues, this was not the root cause of
my problem. I reinstalled Vista from scratch w/o installing any programs -- Norton included -- and found that once again upon installing SP1, my internet connection and web-site resolution was poor at best. After walking through various scenarios with the Microsoft Help Desk, I finally found the cause: The problem lay in my DHCP and DNS settings on my 2003 server. While I had correctly setup my DNS server, I had inadvertently opened up the port on my firewall for DNS resolution, pointing to the server's IP address on the local network. So in effect the DNS server was attempting to resolve names (wasn't necessary since this is just for internal resolution) and since I had DNS set for secure dynamic updates only, to AD-trusted servers, I was excluding 90% of the non-Unix based name servers out there. Once I cleaned that up (shut down the DNS services port on the firewall and modified some DHCP settings) everything went smoothly; in fact, my speed increased 3x through my ISP. Obviously SP1 is less forgiving (more secure) than its predecessor; just unfortunate that I had to go and reinstall everything just to be sure. Norton 360 (I upgraded to ver 2) doesn't hinder me at all. Works better than ver 1 and is a little more transparent. I like the low memory footprint of this program and think that Symantec finally has something worthwhile after several years of bloated antivirus programs (and I have tried just about all of them -- including AVG) -Tom BTW, Acronis, which I use for HD imaging, took over 10 hours to recover my image stored on a USB drive. It takes about 1.5 hours to backup the entire 265Gigs, but 10x that when restoring. Next time around will partition better so the files are kept separate, should I have to restore again.

IE7 not resolving after SP1 install
Thanks for the help. Just wish I could have figured this out w/o wasting a
nice weekend re-installing (or considering the weekend, "resurrecting" is more apropos) software that didn't need to be reinstalled... But that is of course one of the joys of computing!
