I am currently experiencing the same problem. So far nothing I have done has
helped. This is the exact same machine and network card and Vista Ultimate.
Currently working with a Linksys SD208 switch, which according to their site
is vista compabitle.
Only similar occurance I have been able to track down on the internet was
someone replacing their NIC to fix the problem. Did your replacing the router
work?
