IE slow to find web page (All)

[coolsights2000]

Hi All!

I have been playing again....

I finally thing I may have found the cause of IE being slow to open a web page...
I have seen many post about IE being slow to open web pages,,,,

The problem is a routing issue in the network applet,,,

I have two nic cards in my puter... one nic card connects to the cable modem.. and the other nic connnects to the other puter....

I didn't see the problem using zonealarm...
I didn't like sysgate firewall cause I have to add tcp/ip to the nic card that connect to the other puter inorder for it work using sygate firewall...
NONO in my books,,,

Now when I got to the outpost firewall,,
my pages where slow to load... like it was hunting.... A bell went off .. I have seen post like this,,, What is the deal...

So here is how I resolved it... I followed <a target="_blank" href=http://grc.com>http://grc.com</a> advise on how to secure your P.C. in the network applet...

But when you set up the network applet
connect the modem to the TCP/IP only then untick the bonding to the microsoft network and print file sharing....
**** do not connect the modem to Netbios ****

The other nic is connected to the Netbios only and is bonded to the microsoft network and file and print sharing...

*** this nic is not connect to TCP/IP ****

I do not use a router....
so for people using a router I can see how this can be a issue... Cause everything thing is interconnected.. Causing things to hunt for the right directions to go..

My web pages load lighting fast again...


Thanks

"If you can't use this program, box up your computer and send it back, you are too stupid to own it."
