Evidentily a lot of people are experiencing interent problems with Vista
RC1, including me. When trying to go to sites, the magority of them time out
by URL or IP.

All of my settings are correct or (dumbed down) in Vista. IPv4 has static
entries. Firewall off. Security set to low. Blockers, virus prgms etc
disabled. IPv6 disabled on NIC. MTU set to 1452. TCP Recieve Window set to
32767.

All of my other connected XP and W2K computers get to the internet with no
problems, thereby elimintating router, dsl issues. I know it also has
nothing to do with switch port.

Things I've tried besides the obvious type stuff listed above.
1. Since Vista automatically tunes interface settings, I disabled that
function by running the command: netsh int tcp set global
autotuninglevel=disabled. Then I manually set the MTU and TCP Recieve Window
in the registry since DrTCP and Vista are incompatible.

What I've learned.
The latest available Vista build has a bug where it tanks when coming across
SPI (stateful packet inspection) in some routers. Which is why this problem
is only affecting some people.
Disabling SPI in my Cisco 837 leaves too much of a vunerability, so that's
not an option. Leaving me with having to uninstall Vista and go back to XP.
I haven't heard anyone say if RC2 corrects this problem. Now that MS has
pulled RC2, maybe they would consider making it available again if it does
indeed fix the internet problem.

My questions are, is there currently a known fix, workaround or some kind of
voodo that will make the internet go? Because frankly, a problem of this
magnitude should not be showing up in a RC.

I am also using a Cisco router with stateful firewall enabled. The
only thing that works ok is IE. The windows mail client, Firefox, and
agent only get a small amount of data from internet then just stop
downloading. Could be the same problem? But all of this worked ok in
5600 RC1. From 5728 up the problem occurs.

try changing router ip to 172.xxx.xxx.xxx

Tried 172.xxx.xxx.xxx. Still same problem.
