I finally thought I solved all my network problems out and now I find that I
have intermittent internet connection on my Vista machine. Sometimes it
connects and sometimes I have to reboot or even shut down and then it works
again. Please help!!!

Same here. Just "upgraded" to Home Premium. Managed to get vista talking to
xp machines but like you every now and again my internet connection fails on
the vista machine. Diagnostics tells me it's an ISP problem but it isn't
because my other computers can still connect fine. This needs urgent
attention.

You are not alone! I have experienced a similar scenario. I especially
notice my Internet connection stopping after waking from sleep mode.
Hibernation 9/10 works fine and no problem with Internet connection going
away.

This morning, I woke up, took the system out of sleep mode and sure enough,
no Internet. After several reboots along with disabling the "firewall", the
connection returned. I dunno.

Have you re-set the power management? These posts may help,

Hi Robert,
Yes I have followed the advice given. I seem to be losing the IP address
during hibernation, but only after several minutes hibernating!.
Thanks for your support.

Yes, my computer never goes to sleep now, but the problem still exists. Now
it seems to either work on start up or not on my Vista machine. When I run
the diagnose the problem it says it can ping the remote server and the
problem is w/ a firewall (query server?)

I'm having a similar problem -- my network connection keeps going down about
every 10-30 minutes. Usually it’s down for only 10-20 seconds. If I look at
the LAN Connection status, it doesn’t notice the drop. However, my
applications (SSH, Outlook, IE, Trillian, network drive) lose the connection
(although not all of them lose the connection each time).

I'm running Vista Business on a Dell Dimension 4600 with an Intel Pro/100 VE
network adapter. I’ve tried updating my network drivers to the Vista version
and turning off IPV6, all the sharing/discovery stuff, power management
options, etc. I even tried using a totally different network card for a
little while, but that had the same problem.

I have noticed a similar problem on my PC. Happened immediately after I
upgraded to Vista.
I am running Vista Business and accessing internet via Motorola Cable Modem.

Connection is apparently up, but apps stop responding. This can happen as
frequent as 10-30 minutes.

I have noticed in the system logs that "DHCP-Client started", everytime
connection breaks, although there is no evidence of the service crashing.

I usually have to restart cable modem to have the problem fixed.

I'm working on a computer with the exact same issue. Vista x64 Ultimate
drops connection to trillian, streaming radio, etc. Tried disabling
IPv6, new drivers, 2 NICs. I'm dual booting XPx64 and Vistax64 and XP
works great with no network problems. Any found fixes to this issue?

Ever figure this out?

In your case blazzik, just like me you have 2 network cards.

My Scenario...
Connection A = Internet
Connection B = Home Network

Everytime I boot my system, Internet doesn't work. The work around I found
was to disable connection B, give Vista enough time to detect the change and
to associate connection A as "Local and Internet". Once this is completed, I
re-enable connection B and everything is fine.

I've researched Windows and they have the same work around. I know it is
dissapointing. Always having to do this gets annoying. MS should work on a
way to do something like "bind" connection A (or whatever the connection you
are running your internet through) and set it to always be "Local and
Internet". This way it doesn't drop out anymore.

Hope people with this problem, vote for this fix...
