Iis – Remotely from Chrome or IE page loads ~60seconds, from Firefox or IE on local machine – instantly

firefoxgoogle-chromeiisinternet-explorer-8sharepoint

The problem:

  • If i access SharePoint from Windows 7
    with IE8 or Chrome5 – I must wait for
    like a minute to get a response. If i use other Windows 7 with IE8, just the same – just wait a MINUTE.
  • If i use Firefox3.6 on W7 machine – page opens up
    instantly.
  • Now switch to IE rendering engine in
    Firefox    , you will have to wait
    just as with IE.
  • Now i tried IE8 on XP SP3 – page
    opens up instantly.
  • I tried IE8 on Windows Server 2003
    SP2 (machine on which SharePoint is hosted) – page opens up
    instantly.

Chrome

But when trying to use Google Chrome, then fiddler hangs if i do not close chrome soon after sending request – all i see in fiddler is a flood (thousands) of 401 (unauthorized) responses.

The question

Similar question has been asked but there is no response and i`m trying to access page without SSL and that happens even on GET requests.

Where do I look? Where would be the problem? Browser? OS? I don't even know what to think about.

Just a note

Just a note about chrome's process isolation: I found it sad that while I was waiting that minute with Chrome, i could not use any other tab (i could switch, but i could not, for example, scroll or use any controls)

Best Answer

As it turns out it had to do something with authentication.

I checked what is my authentication privider and i had (probably accidentally) set it to Kerberos. I changed it back to NTLM (what i'v suspected it would be) and now it works.
