Hi, I have just purchased a vista laptop and it connects to the internet no
probs but its soooooooooo slow. So far i have tried:
Disabling ipv6
Re-booting router
Updating router firmware
Disabling Mcafee
and a number of other hints i got off google but nothing has worked. Strange
thing is its fine if you're on the Microsoft page.
I have 3 other machines running XP and its lightning fast.
Come on Mr Gates...what have you sold me?

I have the same issue. I have also tried disabling ITv6 and the firmware
upgrade. I am currently not running an anti-virus as I have read that can
cause slowness. I also tried disabling the internet security features in
Vista.

I finally got the internet working sort of but my downloads and pop mail are
still very very slow. I like vista except for this problem. Hopefully
microsoft fixes this Issue soon. Luckly I have another PC with XP so I can
troubleshoot this issue. It owuld be better if the file transfer speeds were
better between vista and XP.

What Network adaptor do you have fitted?
If it's Realtek RTL8139/810X Family Host Ethernet NIC, check the driver
version.
If that is dated 2007 try rolling back to Version 5.640.630.2006.
It worked for me and hope it does for you to
