As promised, I am reporting back.
I have installed a PCI NIC and guess what, all is OK. So it even though the
onboard NIC is reporting as "This device is working properly" there must be a
driver issue with the onboard NIC as regards Vista.
For your information, the problem NIC is :
Nvidia nForce Networking Controller
Driver file - nvm60x32.sys
Driver ver - 6.2.0.126
