Broadband smoke 6/26/2007 1:12:01 AM hello everyone :) My 'Vista' enabled computer isn't too keen on my broadband connection. eg, some days when I first start up and log on, BB is not there and hitting 'start' and 'connect' doesn't work, then when I reboot it, the BB may be there or not. Cycling modem does not work either and when I leave the pooter on and it goes to sleep the BB drops out and I cant reconnect, I have to do a restart. All worked just abfab on XP Router is D-Link DSL504. Any help appreciated thnx :) ps, I have jiggled and replugged all the cables now and again to no avail also.

Re: Broadband "Paul Riemerman" <priemerNOT55[ at ]msn.com> 6/26/2007 12:24:42 PM I was having a similar problem with broadband, a speedstream router and my D-Link DFE-530TX+ LAN card. Was getting flaky behavior including slow downloads in Vista, and perfectly fine speeds in XP. I replaced the LAN card with an Intel Pro/100 M, and broadband now works perfectly in Vista.
