| Hi,
I have the same pbl: my internet connection (ethernet and wireless) works perfectly with my laptop (XP Pro) but is very very slow with my new Dell desktop (Vista Premium), would it be with Firefox or Explorer (as a matter of fact, it worked fine first and got slower each day). In many forums, I read that it could be usefull to disactivate AutoTuning but it didn't work for me. I also disactivated Windows' Firewall without success.
If any one can help me...
Many thanks in advance,
Timothee

| | Hello Everyone, This is very basic but has anyone tried turning off the Phishing filter if you are running IE 7.0 to see if that makes any difference? Is the problem happening if you try firefox?

| | It doesn't work neither with Firefox or with Skype, for instance. |

| | I'm having the same set of problems on an Acer Travelmate 8204 with Vista Ultimate, Intel Pro/1000 PM Network Connection (wired) and my Intel wireless card. The signal strength on my wireless connection is "good" with me sitting 5 feet from my Bountiful wireless router. My kids are 1-2 floors from the router and they get "excellent" to "very good" signal strength on their Windows XP machines. In addition, I cannot get vista to update the Intel Pro/1000 network connection driver to the latest version. Vista comes back telling me that I have the latest driver - when, clearly, there is a latest version on Intel. Download it, vista won't update the driver. Any help? |

| Same deal at my college. Can get to google and very small parts of cached webmail sites for my work, but it logs in and then simply hangs.
I've turned off IPv6, changed from public to private and back and forth, the one thing I didn't get to try at the college itself was the power-saving feature on the wireless card, found in advanced power settings, although I think it was half the time on the correct setting, and still not finding anything.
If there is any distinct workaround for these issues that doesn't involve the college lifting the firewall...it would be nice, eh? There isn't a way to disable all the 'new improved' crap Vista does to networking? |

| Nortavealum: Might want to uncheck the "use microsoft update(or something like that" box in the updater. This is due to a little bug that has appeared with the releases which for some reason creates trouble with full listing of updates.
As for the wi-fi problem soz but can't help there as i hate wi-fi

I am not able to get a new driver for my Intel PRO/100 VE (onboard Gigabyte 8I865GME-775RH). It connects to the internet fine but I have no INTRAnet in my house. I am sure it's missing a protocol for Vista 64. I have disabled TCP6.

| | I am having the same type of problem that a number of others have indicated. I have a brand new Dell with Vista Home Premium and the machine itself is very fast but internet access if VERY VERY slow. I am accessing the internet from home through Comcast and have a LinkSys CableModem and then a LinkSys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41 V3) with the latest firmware (1.05 from 2005). I have Windows laptop on the same network using Windows XP SP2 and its internet access if very fast (its the computer I'm using now). However, the Vista machine is very very slow on the same network setup. Thus, it is PRETTY CLEAR that there is some problem with Vista itself. Is Microsoft going to start researching whether there are incompatibilities between the new TCP/IP stack and common routing technologies? One posting previous stated: "Trouble is, the new and improved TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista falls apart when it encounters an SPI-enabled router." I don't know if that is the problem or not, but it seemed like the internet access speeds were fairly normal when I first got the machine and they have been degrading over time. I would have noticed that it was really slow right away when I first got it, but that wasn't the case. However, we have had the machine for a month now and only started to notice the slowdown in the last few weeks. (Its my wife's not mine, so I don't use it every day). Someone else posted: "I got a new clean installation of Vista Home Premium. I have just plugged in the network cable and run the speedtest, guess what? The problem is GONE." So, someone with Vista from the factory with no patches installed has fast internet access, but when they install all the available patches, the problem occurs. So was the problem introduced by one of the patches? Can someone from Microsoft give us some advice here or let us know if they are looking into this or these issues? Thanks,
Dave Wichers |
