Re: I need help, with the internet!

Serenatous & webbm2,

Lets try disabling IPv6 in Vista. To do this:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage Network Connections -> Right Click on Local Area Connection or Wirless Connection and Click on Properties -> Untick/Disable Internet Protocal Version 6.

Restart & retest your connections (upload speeds).

Question, are you BOTH having slow upload speeds on WIRED connections as well? I believe webbm2 said YES - not sure about Serenatous. It would be helpful to know if this is JUST a WiFi issure or it affects BOTH WiFi & Wired.

Sorry this is taking so long to resolve. There seems to be a LOT of Vista users having slow network connectivity - especially overy WiFi on laptops. If removing IPv6 doesn't fix the problem, we may need to completely uninstall and re-install all network components (NIC devices (wired & wireless), Protocals, Services, conections, etc) then reinstall from scratch (NOT Windows vista - just the networking components).

- John
