Hello all... I just bought a new Asus laptop - Centrino 2, 4GB RAM, 1GB 9600M...and the dreaded Windows Vista 64 bit. The computer is flawlessly fast aside from the internet. I don't think it's browser settings, as I've used both IE and Firefox... both download just as slowly as the other. Also, Steam downloads just as slowly as the two browsers as well. I get 400KB/s transfers on my XP machine but only 30KB/s (AT BEST!) on this 64 platform. I installed the newest Intel WiFi drivers (dated 11/08) with no fixing of the problem. I tried the whole netsh autotuning commands, with no differing result. I've disabled the bandwidth reserve, with no differing results. Firewall, Defender, Phishing filter...it's all off. How in the world can I get my internet back? I can't download at 10-30KB/s anymore. It's driving me insane. I might as well use dial-up...it sure is cheaper. -- moouers |
