Slow IIS on Vista with Firefox, Chrome or Safari
Ever noticed that sites are way slower in Firefox / Safari / Chrome and so on when you try to debug a website localhost on Vista. Apperently there is some kind of DNS bug caused by IPv6. To fix it in Firefox you can type about:config and look up network.dns.disableIPv6 but this doesn’t fix the issues for other browser.
To fix it system-wide for all browsers edit your hosts file. You find it in %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc.
127.0.0.1Â Â Â Â Â Â localhost
::1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â localhost <- Comment this line
127.0.0.1Â Â Â Â Â Â .host
Thanks to commenter in this post for this.
Many many thanks, the system-wide solution fixed it for my Chrome.
Thanks a lot!
That was just the solution I needed!
Changing the hosts file the way you suggested did work. Here is what worked for me… uncomment this line in the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
