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
Had an old PC running windows xp. Worked fine connected to my router using ethernet and powerline adaptors. Bought a PC from a mate running Vista Ultimate. Now I'm getting only about 5kb/s. Checked my router and reset it. OK. In fact, speed using wireless connection to router from another PC is absolutely fine so its not an internet/ISP problem. Checked my powerline adaptors and reset them. No difference. So, all I can think at the moment is:
1. Powerline adaptors have chosen this moment to play up. (although was working fine before).Getting hold of long CAT5 cable so I can plug directly into router to test this. 2. Ethernet interface on new PC is screwed. If so, I guess I can get hold of a PCI LAN card or something. 3. Somethings up with the Vista install. Maybe virus, malware etc. I did a malware sweep and it found some but no difference after cleaning this. Maybe I'll wipe it and install my old version of XP.
I have two Vista computers running on a home network behind a Linksys router. The problem is that when printing it takes a long time for MS word to print. Computer 1 is a desktop running vista home and computer 2 is a laptop running vista home. The printer is connected to the laptop. I can print from both machines, but it takes a long time to print. Also the laptop is running slow. It takes along time to boot up.
There are a lot of threads about on various sites about the problems of introducing a Vista PC into a network of XP desktops, but none of them answer my problem. Here it is: I have a network of two XP desktops and one laptop. My old laptop also used XP but this has since been replaced by a new Vista laptop. When I first introduced the laptop all was well and i could access any file on any PC from any other - I don't use passwords. Only one desktop has printers and each of the other PC print remotely via this desktop.
A few weeks ago something changed and now the Vista laptop cannot access any of the files on the two XP desktops. The laptop can see the two desktops and can also see the shared folders on those desktops. However it is not now possible to open the folders or access the files.
Both of the XP desktops can see the Vista laptop and can open folders and access the files on the Vista laptop without problem. The Vista laptop can also print via the XP desktop without any problem. It can therefore access the print spools on that PC. It just can't open the folders to get at the files.
I would like to transfer some files from my old XP laptop to my new Vista laptop. All available Windows updates have been applied to both boxes and both boxes are plugged into my Linksys BEFSX41 router. I must boot my XP box in "Safe Mode with Networking" because some unknown startup item has been causing problems. For both boxes, my logon account is a member of the local Administrators group and has a blank password. On my XP box, in Explorer I share the folder "xfer" which contains my files. I grant "Full Control" to "Everyone".
On my Vista box, in Explorer I can see my XP box, but when I double-click on it I get the message:"is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Logon failure: user account restrictions. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced."
My Vista Ultimate Computer is not cooperating in my home network. It cannot see nor bee seen by any device in my network. My home network is fairly simple but it consists of the following: Linksys WRT350N Router: My Computer: Vista Ultimate, connected by wire, Uses Bitdefender 2008 Internet Security, Sees nothing, Nothing sees it*
Mother's Computer: Xp Home, Connected Wirelessly (Linksys Wireless Internet Adapter 300N), Uses Zone Alarm Internet Security, Cannot See Vista puter* Archos 704 Portable Media Player: Connected Wirelesly, Can see Xp puter,Can be seen by XP puter when it is in device mode and file server mode............
i've got two computers running off a LAN network at my business (i think that's what it's called when it's not wireless). the main computer is working fine, connecting to the internet, network, etc. the secondary computer WAS working fine until yesterday morning. nothing has changed, no one has touched anything or made any adjustments or anything at all. now it appears to connect to the network since it's still running our POS program with no problem, but it says it's connecting to "unidentified network". it also won't connect to the internet. we've tried all the standard troubleshooting ideas (disconnecting, reconnecting, restarting, blah blah blah) NOTHING WORKS!
i've read other threads & tried what other people are trying & it's still doing the same exact thing. the thing that's different from everyone elses problems is that most other people are having problems with new systems or updated systems... this computer has had no changes made to it & was working fine until now.
I have a desktop with XP and a laptop I recently purchased with Vista on it. I have been trying to access shared folders between the two computers and have found it impossible access each other. Here are some things you should know:
- Network discovery, file sharing, public folder sharing, and media sharing is turned ON. Printer sharing and Password protected sharing are OFF.
- Network is set to Private
- All computers are verified to be in the workgroup "WORKGROUP"
- Both computers can ping eachother
- Windows firewall is disabled on both computers. I have disabled and deleted Norton Anti Virus from both computers as well.
- Resolving through IP or Computer Name does NOT work
- Downloaded and installed Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder on XP Computer from microsofts website http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4F01A31D-EE46-481E-BA11-37F485FA34EA&displaylang=en
- Tried enabled NetBIOS on all computers as suggested by a forum post I read
I have finaly gotten xp and vista to network together with no trouble through a hub/router/switch, I can see both computers from eatchother and run programs between them no problem. The problem is i have a connection to the internet with the vista computer but not the xp computer. If i try resetting the router and cable modem what ever computer i load up first gets the internet conection.I have to force the ip adderss by making it match within on number the vista ip. basicly shove the network down vista's neck. I have went into the vista computer and made sure i checked the box to make it so that any computer on the network can surf the internet though its internet connection but my xp still can not see the internet.
I have tried using command prompts to ping the internet and ping my gateway but that is no good. On vista i can map it out and see the gateway but with xp even when it has the internet connection i do no see the gateway. is there something i am missing in the set up of the network and is tthere a fix without updating to vista and or taking a axe to my vista computer i just spent 2 grand on.
I have started to notice a lot of vista systems that are connected direct to cable modems saying not connected to internet or showing unidentified network. You cannot create a new connection, because the create a connection is for PPPoE only, (which is not very smart). And when the browser gives you the option to connect, it asks for name/password for a PPPoE connection.
1. How do I get the Vista networking to recognize the fact is has a direct connection to the Internet?
2. How can you create a new connection without it defaulting to PPPoE?
3. Is there any way to force Vista to simply connect to a network, if the network is available, and has been checked with other computers as working properly, and Network discovery is on, and vista simply says unknown network?........
I just installed Vista on my computer, and was installing all my programs when I had to reboot. I did so, but then realised I'd lost my internet (it had been working up until then). A 'Diagnose and Repair' found that "The network adapter 'Nvidia nForce Networking Controller' is experiencing driver or hardware related issues." As I said, the internet had been working up until then. I haven't installed any Windows updates (it's set to alert me of new ones). I have had this problem before: I installed Vista, internet worked, rebooted after installing various programs, internet didn't work. Left it overnight & tried again next day, internet worked. Sometime later after reboot, internet didn't work. I then tried to install the Nvidia chipset driver again, but it froze part way through the install. This is when I wiped the entire hard drive and started again, but the problem is back.
using the laptop through wireless I can see other computer and even list their shared folders but when I try to actually list files the connection timesout and gives an error os dennied access to the shared folder. If I try to use VNC for instance, the client connects, asks for pass and then after the remote screen starts to appear.. it hangs... no response after that . The strange part of the problem is that if I connect the laptop through a wired connection everything works ok I access shared folders, I print remotely, no problems. I tried a number of things , the most obvious, like firewalls diferent settings on the network etc. What I can't figure out is what can be so different in the PC for the wired to work but not the wireless.
The Windows Update for the "nvidia nforce networking controller" caused my internet to not work properly. I restored my system and rolled back the driver, both on separate occasions to resolve this issue. It worked, however, now I need to know what to do about the update. I cannot leave my settings to update automatically because of this.
Our Vista laptops (& my Xbox) access our basic Windows Home Server system through a Netgear router. It's all fine, but I want to (easily & quickly!) restrict & control when some laptops can access the internet while allowing free access to the server. (For instance, so children's internet access can be monitored but they can always get to photos & backups, etc. on the server.)
My basic setup is hanging off a Netgear DG834GT, which then connects to a Netgear FS608 (10/100 switch).
On this switch I have my old laptop running XP Media Centre, my spanking new desktop running Vista Ultimat x64 (fully SP1'd) and a Buffalo NAS DH500GL.
All sit within a foot or so of each other and connect via cat5e.
When writing to the NAS from XP, I'm getting write speeds of about 3.7Mb/s.
When writing to the NAS from Vista, I'm getting about 40kbs (yes, 'k' not 'M') I get a similar 40kbs if writing from Vista to a shared doc area on the XP laptop.
Copying from the NAS to Vista (and XP) I get 3.7Mbs
Internet speed if similar on both for download (about 8Mbs) although I haven't tried upload speeds.
I've tried the auto-tune tweaks as suggested by Shane, and turned off DFS replication as suggested by DMEX.
Also tried plugging both the Vista box and the NAS into the DG834 incase the switch was causing the problem.
None of those helped
NAS firmware is fully up to date, as is Netgear DG834, and obviously the FS608 has no firmware to upgrade anyway.
At the moment I'm stuck with copying a file onto USB on the Vista box, plugging the USB into the laptop and uploading to the NAS from there - which reminds me too much of sneakernet technology .
I am using pair of Intel E5410 quad core processor with chipset Intel 5400 with on board network card (Broadcom Net Xtreme 57 Gigabyte controller). OS Vista Ultimate on x64. While I access network it is very slow.
my internet speed i have with virgin is supposed to be 20mb but still i am getting very slow connection any ideas??? im using windows vista home premium 32x im using a netgear usb adapter but my room is next door to my linksys wifi connection i get 100%
my internet is really slow, downloading at 15 KB/s instead of 150 KB/s. My housemate uses the same wireless router and his connection is fine. I initially thought it was due to 1 of the 8 vista updates that auto-installed when i first rebooted, but after uninstalling them, and also trying a system restore, internet was still slow.
Last Thursday my pc downloaded and installed the latest set of updates and since then the Internet speed has been sluggish at best and non-existant at worst.
I contacted my ISP and they did all their tests and announced that the signal was good and I might have a virus, so I got a bit paranoid and ran scan after scan (after the nightmare of trying to get the latest updates). I ran these with Zone Alarm Extreme and Spyware Doctor (but not together) and all the results were clean.
So I'm wondering if the latest Updates are to blame; one of the kids' laptops has exactly the same problem (he uses a router while I use a cable) and he downloaded the updates at the same time.
Interestingly the other kid's laptop seems to be untouched, but he has 32 bit Vista as opposed to our 64 bit, and it appears that we're all using different browsers (IE8, Mozilla and Chrome)
I got my internet speed slower and limited! I dunno how, but it just change very drastically. Why i just know that is that my roomate, use his own laptop but he has an internet speed 8 times faster!! He use Win XP on his laptop. It happen when i installed a McAfee Enterprise 8.7i in my laptop. Before the installation progress, my Internet speed is as fast as my roomate does. But it suddenly happen like that and i got system restore but it useless. So, my question is, how can i got my internet speed to normal.
I have a fairly typical home wireless network. My main desktop on IP 192.168.1.2 is connected by ethernet to my router. My laptop is wirelessly connected and has IP 192.168.1.3. My desktop is running Apache/MySql with a local web in htdocs/myweb. If I access the local web from my laptop using the IP address as it's very fast, but if I access using the computer name it is unbearably slow - every page load takes forever. What's the explanation for this, and can it be fixed? I am going to be installing this system for a local charity and they won't want to (shouldn't need to) be typing IP addresses.
Been running Vista x64 for a while with no problems at all ( yes...honestly!!! ) with a Quad Core and 4Gb ram and an internet connection that was as good as I was expecting. A few months back, though, things went downhill very suddenly! Now, it takes 20 minutes plus just to open some websites, and download speeds have dropped to virtually nothing. I am talking dialup speeds on a 2Mb line. Model is a Belkin wireless router, but I am connected to it by cable since the PC is right by the phone line. I have 2 other PC's in the house ( both running XP wirelessly ) One is temporarily offline due to other issues... but the other is connecting normally with no speed problems. I have done the 'google' thing, and disabled the auto-tuning facility, with no noticable improvements............................
I am having an issue I recently upgraded my 32 bit vista home basic to 64 bit Vista home premium I am having internet issues. My internet is very slow and I cant browse certain sites for example aol.com or aim.com. I have tried many different things browsing other forums, nothing has worked. I have tried going into my network card advanced config settings, I have tried downloaded 64 bit Vista firefox browser I have re booted my modem and my router. I never had this problem with windows vista 32 bit home basic, it has only started happening now that i have re formatted.
I've had vista for around 10 months and never really had a problem with the internet but in the last week I've noticed it is running really slowly. No explaination it just runs slow, really slow. I have AVG, stopped running that, I've rolled back recent windows updates, I've done a system restore to last week. My network card has a greyed out rollback button so can't do that.
Also I've ran some speed tests and I get around 250k download and a 690k upload which again is strange, but I've ran the same test on a eeePC running linux and a laptop running XP and get 1mb download with a 690k upload.
I have switched from a Sony Vaio FE41S (2GB/667MHz - Windows XP) to a Dell Inspiron 1545 (3GB - Windows Vista Basic). On my Vaio, I can watch things online such as Sky Player online and TVCatchup, however, on my brand new Dell, the pictures on these websites moves horrifically slow, maybe 1 frame every 10 or 20 seconds, and slows down my entire computer. As soon as I close these things, my computer runs completely fine again. Also, my downloads go between 100-200kb, whereas on my Vaio, they go between 700 and 1,100kbps
I located a few of these problems - McAfee, which I deleted, and this helped to speed up my computer in general, however, I still have not been able to use such websites. I have tried many of the fixes suggested online, such as the various netsh things and getting rid of phishing on IE. I don't have any antivirus anymore and I've checked for things such as viruses and malware.
is it plausible to see a list with all applications that use the network/internet? this because my pc is very quick when the internet is off, but when I start my pc and the internet is on, than it is very slow (for example: I had to wait 30 minutes before I could log in on this site!!!). it's not because of any firewall/antivirus/antispam/antispyware program, because I turned them off.
(it started on the 7th this month, when I found out there were some updates from vista. I even couldn't download them, because everything crashed: desktop, windows update, taskbar, microsoft word, MSN. Since than it happens all the time there is an internetconnection)
I somehow fixed my problem before, but then I reformatted my laptop which I regret now. I've downloaded all the vista upgrades and even tried turning off my firewall. But no matter if I'm using Firefox or IE7 it takes waay too long to load a page. I googled this and I've tried doing the "netsh interface disable" command but that doesn't really work either.
I'm rather experienced with computers and know its nothing of the obvious. I recently built a new rig, my motherboard is the asus striker II extreme which has dual gigabit lan and the ai teaming technology. I did a fresh install of vista ultimate x86 on the new hard drive, everything running fine and i was achieving maximum internet speed. However after running windows update i noticed the download speed is terrible, approximately 25kb/s on average and i am capable of speeds of up to 650kb/s. After updating all my drivers, running the computer in safe mode, turning off all security and eventually resorting to using a download accelerator my problem persisted. So i thought it must be the update, i wiped the hard drive clean and did a fresh install of vista again, however, before running windows update my speed had actually worsened to around 6kb/s and around 50 or so using a download accelerator.
I had the same OS on my previous setup, same router too, and it worked just fine. I have tried a connection using the wireless pci-e card i had on my previous setup and the dual rj45 cable to my router and even tried it using just one cable. I really can't get my head around whats going on. If anyone has any ideas or experience with this problem, Problem solved! Intels annoying pushpin engineering once again has proven itself to be a ridiculous method of installation. Reapplied some arctic silver 5 and remounted the pins after much effort bending pins into place. Internet speeds are once again optimal!
ever since I started using Windows Vista I've had a low internet download speed (not the amount that I'm paying for). I know this isn't a problem with my ISP because on my other computer that has Windows XP, the internet connection is just fine.
I've tried the following tutorials: Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level QoS Bandwidth Reserve Limit
Neither of them have resolved my problem. My download speed is the only problem, the upload speed is "normal". I'm paying for 8Mbps but I get 0.5-2Mbps on my Vista system. I have my modem directly connected to my computer, through one of the two Ethernet ports on my computer.
running Vista Ultimate 64bit. I created a junction point which mapped to my User folder on external hard drive. Then removed this junction point and pointed it back to the default C:Users... location but ever since the file system is terrible slow even on basic operations such as rename file. So it's NOT a slow copy/move file issue, just that all basic file functions are terrible slow. It doesn't matter if it's in my Users folder or elsewhere. As you can imagine this is making my Vista installation completely useless as software such as Visual Studio is hanging on basic operations. I've done everything I can think of - defragging, turning off Search/Indexing service... still the same
