I installed IE 7 on XP and when I start it up, it take a long time to load the homepage (msn.com). Even opening a new tab takes time and the tab says "Conecting..." I have no problems with Firefox. I enabled port forwarding on my router and I wonder if that has anything to do with the problems I have with Ie7. Any ideas on my problem?

Are you using the IE 7 Phishing filter? It can send website addresses to MicroSoft for validation against a list they have of known phishing sites (depends on setting)
Tools -> Internet Options -> [Tab]Advanced -> [scroll down to] Phishing Filter -> Turn on automatic website checking
I do not know how much this affects loading of pages. If it is on, you can at least test quickly to see if it has any effect turning it off.

It shouldn't. Port Forwarding refers to Incoming Request Traffic, i.e. refer all incoming Port 80 requests to your webserver. When you get a webpage, it is Response message. The router should use NAT to transfer it to the computer that sent the outgoing Request. That is provided your router is working as a Switch and not a Hub. Hubs have to send the message out to all computers until one says, "Yep, that is mine and accepts it." Switches keep track of which computer did the request and sends the results directly back to them.
I would say it is more likely related to the number of connections you have and your MTU (Maximum Tranmission Unit). You might try optimizing that for your connection.

Firefox probably gets around it because it does pipelining and will open multiple connections to download the same data and then reconstruct it on your end.Translations provided by Google.

I'd be tempted to remove it and re-install to see what happens
I did and it is still slow. Even opening a link in a new tab is slow.
Any other ideas?

Sorry to hijack your thread, but was gonna throw this out anyway and see if anyone else is having similar grief.
I've noticed all vBulletin AJAX functions aren't working as they should be in IE7. They are first and foremost treated as links, then as AJAX functions, therefore never fully working unless I manage to stop the browser in time from loading the next page.
Anybody else having that problem? If not, any recommended fixes? I've tried clearing cookies and cache, and doesn't work.ManagerJosh, Owner of 4 XenForo Licenses, 1 vBulletin Legacy License, 1 Internet Brands Suite License
