I am experiencing a network problem with my new laptop working with Vista
Home Basic. I have found that some domains refuses to open suddenly after a short time of accessing the internet, while domains which were already accessed are functioning so good. My ISP's poorly trained technician advised me to restart the router everytime this issue occurs. Actually this helped but made me crazy as I had to restart my 3Com router every 5 minutes. I tried to change my DNS settings without restarting the router, and this solved the issue too, but I still have to switch between DNSes every 5 minutes. This issue is absent with my Desktop that uses Windows XP on the same DSL line. Any solutions? |

Actually the problem is not solved by those measure mentioned above, but I have found something for it.. After upgrading my router to the last firmware, I ran the "Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool" through this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/usi...d/default.mspx It was obvious that there was a problem with my UPnP which was disabled in my router. So I enabled it and re-run the "Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool" again and that confirmed that the problem doesn't exist anymore. (To enable UPnP in 3Com Officeconnect routers; login to http://192.168.1.1, enter your password; go to "Advanced"; the "Security"; Tick "Enable Universal Plug and Play") I didn't experience the same issue since then. |

What NIC are you using in the Vista computer? Check for latest driver
updates and any Vista issues that may exist. The NIC mfg. may have support forums. "YaserK" wrote in message ... I am experiencing a network problem with my new laptop working with Vista Home Basic.
