After XP SP2 installed IE very slow when XP firewall enabled

[Paul Sala]

After installing XP SP2, IE is very slow to display web pages, even google
takes a long time.

I turned off XP's firewall and IE worked fine. Then I turned the FW back on
and IE was slow again.

I found many people have this problem but I cannot find a solution. Any
suggestions.

Thanks....paul
