I'm having latency problems w/Vista Ultimate on my new build.

I recently built a new computer, and installed Vista Ultimate. Now, when I
try to surf the web, the pages load really slowly, and when I go to
Speedtest.net, my upload and download rates are decent, but the ping times
out at 999ms!
I also notice when I play online games, when the computer first connects to
the server, there is a huge lag, but withing about 15 seconds it smooths out
and I can play the game. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is
happening and/or what I can do to fix it?
BTW, I have updated all my drivers, so I'm reasonably certain that's not the
problem.

You may try to disable auto-tuning. This link may help,

We can disable them to resolve this issue. For your reference, I have
listed the steps and links here: Disable Auto-tuning/RSS on Windows Vista:

That seems to be a little faster, but the latency is still at 999ms. Oh well,
thanks anyway!

The second half of the equation is:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

See if that helps....

Try a different router. USB routers never had a good rep. Even with
cable I found there to be a big difference in routers. I just finished
playing with 7 different Brands and models.
