Default Vista's firewall

i've noticed that when i enable Vista's firewall, my cable internet
connection slows quite noticeably. It's really like a serious and continual
hiccup becomes a part of my browsing experience.

Disable the firewall and everything returns to normal.

Is this common?

Hi
Nope, the firewall should not slow down the connection. Check carefully all
the settings.
Try to uncheck the IPv6 in the TCP/IP's properties,

Thanks Jack,

I've made the IPv6 changes and we'll see how it goes. So far I think I am
noticing an improvement in speed.
