| Hi everyone, I'm running build 5384 on a Dell Precision 370 and a Precision 380. I've tried 64 and 32bit versions but I keep having the following problem:
Basically I can access the internet but very, very slowly. Most pages just time out.
The machines both have Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit NIC's connected to Dell Powerconnect Gigabit switches. I've tried Manual IP config and DHCP but I can't get a reasonable speed through via ethernet!
There's nothing wrong with the network, I've got hundreds of XP 32bit and x64 clients connected to the same network and they can all access the Internet fine.
I can ping other clients on the netowork from the Vista machines and I get <1ms Ping times, there's nothing wrong with DNS or gateways etc. I just have a feeling this is a NIC or software issue. I've got no other NIC's a can try with the machines either.
It's not a problem with our ISP as the slow ethernet connection is also happening whilst trying to transfer files internally across the network. I've tried changing port on the switch, i've even tried another manufacturer's switch which didn't help! I've replaced network cables also.
I can't even get either of the machines to connect to Windows Update, it just times out!
Any ideas anyone? |

| are you sure the dns's for that machine are not pointing somewhere wierd? That would cause a long hangup while they try to resolve. Have you tried going to a website by just the ip not the .com?

| | Same here. I'm on a new HP pc, a week old. I did do a nvidia network driver update but I am not certain of any change in performance. The pic maxed around 66%, unusually high. Most of the time its much much lower. Also performance when connecting to my netdrive is so incredibly slow compared to the XP pc next to this one. It takes Vista a long time to index up before I can actually do anything with files. Sort of hangs until its fully indexed.

| | Same Problem! I have a Inspirion E1550 with an Intel 3945ABG internal card. I can log onto my University's wireless network, have a great connection, but can only access google.com. Searches run fine, but cannot access any outside website! And I've had no problems accessing the internet on my home wireless network! |

| Have you guys tried changing your network status to "private" from public and turning off windows firewall?

| | Windows firewall is off. Also disabled all other saftey software. Tried you suggestion as far as making the network private, but same problem. I've found several articles stating a problem that Vista has had since Beta versions were released in regards to the new TCP/IP stack communicating with wireless routers. Here is a little of what I've found: "The culprit is the built-in firewall software on the DI-724U router, which features Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI). This is not the only router in the SOHO market that features SPI - Netgear's WGR614 and Linksys' WRT54GS are among dozens of products that offer similar capabilities. Trouble is, the new and improved TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista falls apart when it encounters an SPI-enabled router.
One workaround is to disable SPI on the router. That significantly weakens a key layer of network security, but it allows Internet traffic to get through. Unfortunately, the D-Link DI-724U, like several other products in the same family, doesn't allow SPI to be disabled"
Now, I can't exactly ask the University to upgrade thier router's firmware, and they won't turn the firewalls off. So, that leaves microsoft to fix a problem they've know about for months and have decided to do nothing about. Guess we can just keep waiting! Matt |

| | I am having the same problem with a dell inspiron laptop, access to a local network is very good, the network is set to private, I also have the Broadcom network, and I have the same problem. I can transfer many files over the network, other computers are running fine (all of which are on XP, some wireless others not). All the other computers laptops and desktops have very good internet access, my vista laptop doesn't. All firewalls were also turned off to make sure they were not causing a problem, and there was no difference. I can't understand why its not working as only the internet is effected on the only vista computer. |

| | Im having the same problem! I have tried everything. Disabled the firewall, changed from pirvate to public, removed uneccessary stuff from the network connection so I only use IP v.4 (with netbios disabled), etc... Iv got a brand new Asus FT3 laptop and plug it in directly to my cable modem (with no routers or firewalls between) and get a maximum of 20-40 kbit/s. Then plug in my old laptop (WinXP, with the same network cable directly to the cablemodem) and guess what, I get > 8mbit/s This must be something wrong in Vista! Have anynone found a solution?? |
