Vista Forums - View Single Post - VPC problems over AMD. Internet problems: bad request, error 400

08-10-2008

I haven't heard of the Turion's causing problems like this but there
is one other big difference between the two PC's, the network adaptor
driver -- make sure you have the latest update for the driver on your
new laptop would be the first thing I'd try.
