i tried updating network drivers, i tried resetting the modem, i tried
repairing by using windows vista repair thing but that never worked. i tried
all 5 methods suggested in a previous reply, ive tried a fresh install of
vista, ive tried using a different network card. cant remember everything ive
tried but im sure theres more.

you said: you may get more informed help from a newsgroup which specializes
in networking for Vista.

thats why i said how do i do that.
