Exclamation VISTA - Does Your Internet Connection Sometimes Fail For No Apparent Reason ? - A FIX

This problem, with a friend's machine, was driving me crazy...
I then learned that the same problem was occuring on many many 1,000s of other computers !

Found the answer.

Strange problem with my internet connection in Vista - Solved!
*** BE WARNED ***
The Fix requires editing values in your Registry...
If you are not experienced in working within the Registry, you should either get help locally or at least return here and post with your questions.
Making changes in your Registry can be dangerous and if you make any errors you may corrupt your operating System so that it will not run.

The information available via the above link is very clearly presented...
You will find a Step-By-Step guide with example screens.

Be sure to do a Restart immediately after closing the Registry Editor and, when all has completed loading, follow that with a 'normal' Shutdown.

This appears to be a Vista issue related to some router modems.

Hope this helps.

Default

Would you think this is a viable option for a laptop? My sisters VISTA crap laptop has a lot of trouble connecting to my router, but nowhere else.

I mean if it will cause trouble connecting elsewhere then I rather not try it. I don't know much about DHCP or how important it is in e.g. a proxy environment.

Do you have more info about things like that?

I recommend using either an old Limewire version without BitTorrent support or Phex for Gnutella, Azureus is BitTorrent. None of this Limewire Gnutellatorrent hybrid crap.
