Strange problem with IE7 on a wireless Gateway notebook running Vista...

My network setup is:
4200 Speedstream ADSL Modem (windstream.net)
|__Linksys WRT54G
|__(wired) Desktop running XP
|__(Wireless) Notebook Running Vista Home Premium

My Problem is:

In IE7 on my wireless Vista notebook I'm having a huge delay (only with some websties) in what seems to be a response back from the server of some of the websites I'm trying to go to. Most pages load quick like normal, but some sites hang right after you click it, and it sits there saying "Connecting..." then after a few minutes the page eventually loads (never timing out). this problem is very consistant, the sites that load normally always load normally and those that load slow always load slow, painfully slow.

There seems to be no page-weight issue because several "heavy" pages load just fine most of the time. It really seems like some kind of scripting problem and not a DSL speed issue because my desktop doesn't have this delay problem. I have tried just about everything to resolve this problem but I just can't get it. Please Help

Example Sites:
http://www.deviantart.com (Loads Fast)
http://www.lexmark.com (Loads Very, Very Slow, at lease 3 minutes or more)

Even http://192.168.1.1 the router pages load extremely slow (3+ minutes per page) and they are local files... what is going on here?

I'm using Macafee virus suite and have tested most of the setting in it and Internet Explorer 7 and have had no change in results. Is it some kind of firewall setting somewhere? I've tried shutting everything off with no effect.

I do not have this problem on The (wired)XP machine w/ IE7

Check for the IE-7 security configuration

Also check your previous post...

Thanks dolph,
I have tried changing the security setting and it never seemed to make a difference. I've even tried turning off all firewalls and still no difference. I think my network setting may some how be to blame

This whole problem is driving so me crazy I'm double posting the same stuff :/ [Thanks Lucid ;)]

We have the same issue on our new PC running Vista. Apart from our son that is - he has a standard user account and managed to fix it - internet doesn't suffer from the annoying delays! The only problem is, he can't remember what he did to fix it!!!

I've check the settings in 'Internet Options'and can't find anything different about my son's profile that would fix this problem.

Anyone have any ideas where else I can look?

Thanks.

I found this link when researching the same problem on my new laptop. I haven't tried it yet, but will once I get home from work. If anyone else sees this, tries it, and finds out whether or not it works, please post here to share the wealth.
