My Sygate PFPro loves Google, hates everyone else

Running Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.5 build 2525 on Windows XP
Home. The problem is the only site that I can access reliably is
Google. Every other site including all the major sites like MSNBC,
Yahoo, CNN, etc. time out with a "Document contains no data" error or
loads only a portion of the web page extremely slowly then times out
or returns site not found blah blah. Yeah, weird that only Google is
accessible. I know everyone loves Google but this is ridiculous.

The problem is Sygate PFP because all the sites are accessible if I
change the firewall option to Allow All which is not a good way to use
firewall software. I don't have any Advanced Rules and the same
problem occurs when using Internet Explorer or Mozilla. Looks like
only http because mail works. I browsed Sygate's site (had to use the
Allow All option, my PFP apparently doesn't love its own site) but
didn't find anything relevant. Is there a data file to edit or anyone
have another suggestion?
