-JMC- Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Ok i've tried many things (including turning of the firewall, changing all the settings etc) but websites don't seem to load EXCEPT google.com and cisco.com. Anything else like bt.co.uk or bbc.co.uk times out and dosn't load. The ethernet is an onboard one, but I could try using my PCI one, don't think it will make much difference. I think Vista is also crashing my router, anyone else getting that problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hmm, that's weird... Pages load normally for me, but downloads seem to go a little faster than normal... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Beard(R) Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 OK I think i've got a bit further with this one. It seems that the DNS resolution is a bit buggey. If say in a cmd I type >ping www.bbc.co.uk it cannot resolve it, however if I do a NSlookup and then type in www.bbc.co.uk it works straight off... More importantly is that as soon as I have done the NSLOOKUP on the url it works fine with ping and IE/FireFox. Wierd!!!! I think they may be a bug/compatibility issues with routers and DNS. Try switching your DNS servers to a more generic free one like 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 This worked for me! Did it work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camesenin Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi all, loving vista not even bothered going back onto xp for a few days now only nagging thing is the mega slow internet browsing with IE7, front page of neowin takes about 30seconds to load. Firefox is alot faster but when u open a few tabs the whole thing grinds to a halt like im on 56k again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenBacon Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Pages load fast for me. I have a nforce chipset, but with dual LAN so one was realtek, which included drivers that were in windows, the other one was nvidia and it didn't work till I installed nforce drivers. But still, before and after installing the nforce netowrok drivers, things loaded fast for me. Im behind a router and dont remember if I have windows firewall enabled or not.
