Very slow internet browsing
Thanks for all the great help everyone!
Sadly none of the previously mentioned steps have helped my situation... let me give some more info in case anyone would like to attempt to direct me... I started experiencing the issue of extremely slow downloads. This would occur on many programs: IE7, iTunesMusicStore, etc. This problem is only on my comptuer running Vista. There are other comp's in the house, running off the same modem (some using a router), and their download speed is still great. My ISP is AT&T DSL, and it is usually extremely fast. Many downloads will timeout. My iTunes downloads, for example, always give me a network timeout, whereas they would normally take about 2 whole seconds to complete. In general, basic internet usage is slower, but not totally unusable. Any large downloads, however, will not complete at all. If I try to watch a video on youtube, for example, only the first few seconds will download. I've tried disabling all add-ons... all security/firewall programs... ran the command prompt line mentioned above... Oh and finally let me say that I have been using Vista for a few months with excellent download speed. The probem started only recently.... "Calvin D. Cantrell" wrote: This solutuion worked for me! I had tried everything and I had never tried the autotune thing unitl now. Although, I dont think setting the system to default autotune is the best way to do the final release.. I mean really this will **** lot of users off.. if their browser doesnt work right out of the box. Of course this is assuming this issue is not changed in RC2 or the final release.

Very slow internet browsing
I'm having very similar problems, and the above didn't work for me either.
I'm beginning to suspeect that it may be a driver issue. Mine is a LAN connection through a Realtek card - is this also true of other people having the same problem? Think I'll try to roll back to an older driver... "GooDFeLLoW" wrote: Thanks for all the great help everyone!

Very slow internet browsing
marty, you are my hero. lol. i'm also using a Realtek card, so i rolled
back the driver like you suggested, and it looks like the problem may be resolved. i'm going to restart and everything and make sure. i'm so happy something finally worked. Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC, and i rolled back to driver number 5.640.630.2006 from 6/21/2006. thanks again!
