I too am having no luck making IE open webpages anyfaster, my conection is
well over 1 megabyte per second (yes i said megaBYTE) and this thing is
INTOLERABLE!
I made a huge mistake buying vista, STICK WITH XP! or youll be pulling your
hair out.I upgraded 2 of the systems on my network and left the 3rd as XP and
even though its a 6 year old system it SMOKES vista in browsing. I love the
disconect window that says "your most likely not connected to the net,check
your internet connection" what a joke.
Disabling the phishing filter does NOTHING, in fact it makes it even slower,
if you can beleive that!

Microsoft, do us a favor and give us a refund on this terminably ill software.

it's likely the "Next Generation TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista". I
wonder how many people have spent uncounted hours trying to make it work
by disabling their firewall, etc

geepers, look here to disable auto-tuning, which is the new handy-dandy
feature of Vista's new TCP/IP stack:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e4546efa61914f

if you try it, it would be nice if you report back on whether this works
for you

NOTE: not everybody has a problem with Vista and broadband because
people are connecting with different routers, etc.

Well, thanks for the attemp. It actually may have made things worse, but one
couldnt tell as it is SOOO bad as it is.
I stand by the decision that Dell and Microsoft are complicit in their
thievery.
