Glad to see you guys are getting somewhere. Just to let you know I have been trouble free for a month now (remove Zone Alarm and replace with comodo). Not one crash. And to share these with you...... Link Removed due to 404 Error Link Removed due to 404 Error I have no axe to grind for...

Good post "rburke". And the data throughput may be important. Here is my latest information. Firstly, I have changed ADSL provider and changed the router. The new provider gave a faster service. What do you know, instead of crashing every other day, I went to crashing every day. This was now...

Greforb, I'm not sure what your definition of "crash" is. Me, I'm really a Unix/Linux guy and if a process fails to respond, that's a crash. Technically, the browser is still there and working, but it does not connect to the web (email, ssh, telnet everything else is hunky-dory) So, on that...

First. Mike, thanks for your comments, all I can say is, that for myself, I had exactly the same network set up for an XP Pro machine before I moved to Vista. I had that 2 years with absolutely no browser problems. I also changed leads, network cards and the router (and firmware). No effect. If...

This is still driving me crazy. Every 3 days or so the browser locks up. More things that I have tried: 1. New driver for the Broadcom Network cards (Oct 2008) 2. Netgear router upgrade (Also spoke to Netgear. They deny any issues, and technically can see no reason the router can be the issue)...

I have just found this on the web. It is a user's reference for buying the Netgear DG834G router. (He gives it 1 star) "Works fine with XP. Very temperamental with Vista, keeps dropping connections and can be totally random! It is a known issue with Vista; Netgear should sort these problems out...

Latest: Tried an alternative network card. It doesn't resolve the problem. In deference to Celestra, I also installed the latest drivers for my 1Gb network cards (Broadcom). I also turned off Deterministic Network Enhancer (as others have suggested this "feature" is a real liability). 3 days...

Celestra, I take and support your comments about the software "catch-up" and the reasoning behind it. However (and I'm not trying to be picky here, but), to say it isn't always Vista because lots of people haven't written new software is hardly a justification that it isn't "down to Vista". No...

.......and less than one day later.....the problem is back, but this time with avengence. This time, my network card is disabled. And nothing I try will restart the network card. It says it is enabling the card, but it doesn't. Diagnose (A new Vista menu item) tells you it isn't working. (Really...

First, can I thank all you guys for your comments on this forum. Without all the contributions, everyone feels on their own. We are a System Support company who look after small and medium sized companies. We don't have to tell our clients not to use Vista, they tell us! Amongst our hundreds...
