The other 3 computers use XP and have been fine. After countless hours trying to fix it last night, and Boyfriend working on it today, there were still issues, but I just downloaded the latest driver for the network adapter and it's only been a few minutes, but I'm already seeing a major improvement in my internet speed. I did find message boards with hundreds of people having the same issue with Vista and a wireless connection. Can't say much about your cable, though. We have digital and never seem to have a problem watching too much tv. :-) Kelly, this is only happening on the new laptop, which runs Vista. The other 3 computers use XP and have been fine.

This sounds EXACTLY like the problems we are and have been having. Before i left for FL. I, on my laptop with XP, was having a hard time with interent. I use mostly IE. Sometimes it would take so long it would say the page timed out or couldn't connect. Graphics often would not show up and sometimes if i clicked refresh it would fix it but sometime not or sometimes i would have to do it a few times. Since coming back from FL i do not seem to be haveing this trouble at all though my internet does keep droping. However my Hubby's Apple laptop, using Safari browser, is now doing the same thing AND one of His buddies at work is saying the same thing is happening for him. Our desktops seem to be working fine and as your BF did my Hubby reset the modem and did a hard reset and it didn't seem to do a thing. He did call our ISP and they said everything looks fine. He was saying maybe we need a new router but then why is my laptop now working ok? Our cable in two of the four rooms we have cable in was also not working all chanels between 3 and 25 where snowy, fuzzy, and some could not be seen at all. Cox, yes our internet and cable TV are Cox, came out today and said it was the cable that went from the TV to the VCR i think? In two rooms at the same exact time? Do you think it could have something to do with them switching to everything cable? This is sooo wierd. This sounds EXACTLY like the problems we are and have been having. Before i left for FL.
