Broadband

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.

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.
