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, http://www.ezlan.net/vista/TCPproperties.jpg Jack (MVP-Networking).

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. "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Hi Nope, the firewall should not slow down the connection.
