Everything seems fine except that the network downloads seem terribly slow. On my XP laptop using the same connection, speeds are at around 1000 kbps. On Vista download speeds are more like 100kbps even though uploads are at 800kbps. I have tried updating drivers, disabling auto-tuning, etc. I don't have any anti-virus s/w like Mcafee or Norton. Vista's network diaganostics doesn't seem to detect any problem, but did change TCP/IP MTU settings.

I have to first vent and say how frustrated I am. I take pride in solving most issues within a few hours of research, but unfortunately I have not had such luck with this one. Listed below is my equipment and situation.
1. Dell XPS M1330 Notebook Computer w/Intel 4965AGN Wireless Adapter and Vista Ultimate x86
2. Belkin N1 Vision Wireless Router
Web browsing is extremely slow and in some cases times-out on visiting a lot of sites (but not all). Downloading files is no problem and my rate is great. It seems as if the problem is related to a Windows Update because everything was working fine, then one day just started happening. The problem does not exist when this notebook computer is hardwired or on other computers (non-Vista) that access this router. The problem also does not exist on some public wireless access points. There were a lot of updates that happened at the same time, so I have not started pulling them out one-by-one. I can't help but think someone else is experiencing this problem and may have found a solution. All drivers are updates and router has the latest firmware. I did the netsh autotuning disable when I first setup the computer (as it was a problem on a lot of Vista desktops that I have worked with).

I just got a new laptop that is vastly superior in hardware to the laptop it replaces. It is loaded with Vista Ultimate and the laptop it replaces is loaded with XP Pro. I have reloaded Vista Ultimate on the new laptop to get a fresh install without bloatware. The Vista Ultimate laptop is much slower Internet browsing with constant time outs with Firefox and with Thunderbird email. I am having to refresh pages almost every other time I got to another page. The XP machine blows this machine away as far as surfing is concerned.

I recently put together a new Vista Ult. box. Unfortunately soon after it got infected with a strain of Vundo, which I think I've erraticated, but somehow the machine still seems compramised. I can FTP, Email, Telnet with no problems, but once I open a web browser the wait for pages to load is painful. I have ClamWin as my main anti-virus software - I"ve scanned in SAFE MODE memory and all partitions
And I've ran all these programs in SAFE MODE numerous times to no avail Spybot S&D
Ad-aware 2007 Free
Super Anti-spyware
Windows Defender
Malicious Software Removal
HijackThis (nothing of concern comes up)
Replaced Hosts file
Soon after I run these programs web browsing is zippy for a little bit, but then strarts crawling. Images or ads won't load and then pages time out. I'm not sure what else I can check to see what is going on. Other machines on same network work fine.

Considering there have been some (doubtful..?) images available on various torrents for weeks now, I'm wondering why so slow in posting the full Vista Ultimate with SP2 slipstreamed DVD .iso on Technet Plus

I've just formatted (twice now cause I thought maybe there was wrong with the first installation) my Vista 32 SP1 PC and put 64 on, did all the latest updates. Everything works great except my memory usages is always very high.
my internet speed is playing up real bad. I can browse and do what I want at normal speeds but as soon as I start downloading anything my internet slows down to an unbearable pace, web pages take so long to open that I have to cancel my download

can I speed up my browsing on the internet? I know some sites are slower than others but, as of late, the internet seems to slow down to a crawl yet, when I do the speed test, I end up scoring higher or just where I am supposed to be at. I only use Avast as my A.V. & Spyware + Windows Firewall, no proxies. I am also using OpenDNS for my dns address and this has help a bit but still, I will like more from it since when I download a file, it does it fairly quick.

Downloading EXE files and what I assume are EXE files (Flash Viewer update, Java update, etc.) stops after a short amount of progress. There's no warning message, no error message, no clue at all given by the OS; the progress bar just...stops. It waits patiently, even if I cannot. It'll stay there all day if I let it.
Replication: It's inconsistent in that some EXEs do download just fine, but consistent in that the same EXE files always freeze. Consequently, I don't have the latest Java updates, Flash Viewer updates, and more, and I can't download Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live Messenger. The latest problem: I can't play my new game, Company of Heroes, until the in-game patch downloader installs the latest patch. Problem is, it freezes............

My wife's computer is running Windows Vista. The system works fine for almost all purposes. It accesses the Internet successfully through a wireless network card to our home WiFi router. The WiFi connection is fine with a high signal strength. It's connecting to an old DLink 802.11b router using WEP encryption, which is all the router supports. Periodically, on average every few days, she will lose HTTP connectivity. This happens in both IE7 and Firefox 3.08. She can still send and receive email and still use a web browser via HTTPS, but she cannot connect to ordinary web pages on port 80. The problem normally persists until she reboots, at which time connectivity is restored. Two other computers on my home network (one Linux, one XP) are unaffected. They work fine through the same wireless network while my wife's Vista computer is not connecting...............

I want to connect to a Team Foundation Server through HTTP. I am not in the network (local nor VPN) with the server I want to connect to. I use the public IP of the server. From my laptop with XP it can be reached easily - for example when I enter the http://serverIP:9200 in the Internet Explorer, the browser asks me for a password and if I fail to log it shows that the Access is denied. 9200 is a port number.
When I connect a laptop with Vista and do the same, a browser just informs that it cannot display the page. I can't also connect to the server via telnet. The behaviour is the same also when I turn off the firewall on Vista (on XP I do not need to turn off the firewall). What then can be blocking this connection?? Are there any security settings that I should check? There is no problem to connect to the Web server from the same network as this TFS.

Now that MSN mail is no longer HTTP based and is POP3 is there some hope of Windows Mail being fixed so that we can use it with our MSN email? While I realize there is the answer of using Windows Live Mail there are some of us out here that like Windows Mail a whole lot better.

I cannot connect to one website via HTTP or HTTPS - www.discover.com. After installing SP1, I can no longer connect to this one website. I have Zone Alarm along with Vista's built in firewall installed, and there is a firewall build in to the 2 wire DSL router I have. Antivirus is Symantec antivirus 10.2.0.276. Windows defender is also installed. I've diabled all firewalls and antivirus and setup a DMZ on the router and still cannot connect. When I try to connect in IE, which seems to indicate either a DNS or a firewall error. Running Vista's diagnostic tests says that port 80 or 443 is being blocked, but with all firewalls off, I can't imagine by what. I've installed virtual pc and installed xp with sp2 on the virtual pc and that is able to connect through vista to that website.
Via a XP SP2 laptop on the local LAN i'm also able to connect. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the NIC. The machine has a PCI wireless card and using that it is also not able to connect. I've tired to use my cellular provider for dial-up access and that also did not work. I've tired safe mode with networking and still no luck. Of course all other sites are normal. I've tried resetting IE settings, adding the site to the trusted sites, running with no add-ons, all with no luck. I've messed with the security settings as suggested in some threads and no luck. I've also tried Opera, Firefox, and Safari and none of them can connect either. There is no proxy setup either. I've reset the IP and Winsock ( ipconfig /flushdns, /renew, netsh int ip reset, netsh winsock reset, etc)..........

Background: New Laptop with Vista Home Premium, MS Office 2007 installed and the office runs Exchange Server 2003 (fully patched as far as I know).Problem:Cannot connect to the exchange server using HTTP (had no poblems with old laptop running XP).Facts:(i) finding my mail box/username on the Exchange Server during the Mail setup process on my laptop - no problem; (ii) setting up the connection using HTTP via proxy settings - no problem; (iii) completeing the Mail setup - no problem. Symptoms: When I open up Outlook, I get prompted for username/pwd (so far so good), but that's it! Either Outlook times out without ever opening up or I get error messages that Outlook can't connect to server. Additional Info: (i) accessing the exchange server via Outlook Web - no problem; (ii) accessing the exchange server via VPN - no problem; (iii) have tried accessing from other laptop also running Vista (same setup)same problem.

I have read that the solution to the error message that says that Windows Mail "can no longer support HTTP" is by installing Windows Live. I did install Windows Live, however, and the error still appears. What else has to be done?

Message: I was having issues with the firewalls and security, and conflicts with my norton security I disabled the Vista and ended up with everything disabled, I could not get on the internet or my email, I had my server here, thinking it was a issue with the address being diabled and the dsl modem reset, They are not too fimilar with Vista and unable to connect, We continually get the HTTP 403 forbidden error, I was able to get the email to work, the comupter is connected to the interent and no problems when I ran diagnosis on it, so my email works ,
I went into the admin. tools , services and almost all where disabled, so i went in clicked them to automatic, enabling them, its to click on something to allow inbound/outbound security, but, I dont know what ones to run start, stop etc. I need information as to what to click or unclick, what to allow or not allow to access the internet, So what I am saying is the internet connection is up and working, I am able to go into my email and send and recieve, but, when I go to my internet browser, click to go, it says HTTP forbidden error 403, you are connected to the internet but unable to view this page

I just purchased a laptop with Vista Home Premium. I managed to (I think) successfully install IIS7. However, when I type "localhost" into my browser, I keep getting the HTTP 404 error. The page is just a very simple "hello" in html. In my event log, I see there is an HTTP Event 15016..something about Kerberos. However, I am not connected to a domain, so this should not be a problem.

Used to access my Hotmail account using Windows Mail. After re-installing my O/S, Windows Vista Home Premium, I can no longer set this up. When I get to the point where it asks for my e-mail address I input this, click on next, and the message "Windows Mail no longer supports the http servers used by Hotmail.......". I remember this happened when I bought my computer but managed to get round it, but can't remember how. I have a paid subscription to Windows Live Onecare and believe this is something to do with the "paid " subscription referred to on other threads.

Just recently (possibly since SP1) a number of web sites that I frequently visit have become inaccessible via my Vista Hoe Premium/IE7 PC. I can access them OK using WinXP/IE7 on my laptop so have no idea what the problem can be. The error message states "The website declined to show the page....This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage". With the exception of one site, none of the other four sites require any kind of log-in. I use Norton Internet Security but have disabled web protection to see if that helps - nothing, I've also binned my temp internet files - nothing!

I have Vista Home Premium. When I download items from the internet, they seem to go nowhere. I select a location, the dialogue box shows it downloading, then the dialogue box disappears and I cannot find the files.
Does anyone know where they might go?
This problem just started this past Sunday. I tried to do a restore point, but I cannot go back past a day or two. In XP, restore showed a calendar to select a restore point.
I even tried to download to a cd and it show the download progressing, but when I went to the cd, it wasn't there.

I am trying to help with windows Vista basic IE 8 (had IE7) with problem downloading files which then just do not get saved to disk where it should be (or anywhere for that matter). The user account is has administrator privilages but it seems as if for downloads they do not or at least it acts that way. It is not even running the programs when told to in the download choices. It goes through the normal appearance of downloading and saving the file from the temp folder but then poof is not saved to disk at designated store point.
I have used a work around for now by using the Administrator account and can download through that but do not want to expose that account for long. Is there some permission or registry fix for this problem. I have checked all IE settings in control panel but they are all good for downloads. I did install IE 8 to ssee if that would fix problem but still the same.
