Vista - Linksys Router & RC1

Has anyone had a problem connecting to the Internet using a Linksys WRT54GS
router? I am running Vista Home Premium RC1 and IE7. When connecting through
the router (cat5 not wireless) I can only get to certain web sites. For
example I can get to www.yahoo.com but not to any of the Microsoft Web Sites
listed in the Favorites Center on IE7. When I bypass the router and attach
directly to the cable modem everything works fine. This did not occur when
running Vista Beta 2. I have also upgraded the firmware on the router to the
newest version. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. I thought it was a problem with Windows
Vista, but when I read this, I connected my computer directly to the
internet and now I can access all sites.

Hi Charlie,

When going thru the Linksys Router, did you properly config your
Workgroup in Vista? I am using a Router and I can get to all Websites in
Windows Vista Ultimate RC1 5728 version.

Wait a sec. "Vista Home Premuim RC1" This was never released to Beta
Testers. The correct name is Windows Vista Ultimate RC1 5600 or 5728
versions.

Actually, just right now I figured out the problem.

It's apparently a feature called SPI on the routers that doesn't sit well
with the Vista TCP/IP stack. I hope some enlightened techie can guide us
through to disabling it or getting around it.

Ouch! There is no way I am "fixing" a problem in Vista by
disabling state inspection on my firewall. That has got to be a
joke right? MS doesn't actually expect us to do that, do they?

Painful.

No, don't disable your SPI firewall. Try this:

- Click start
- Type: cmd
- Right-click cmd.exe when it appears under Applications
- Click Run As Administrator
- Type the following: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Press enter
- Restart your computer

Well 64-bit enabled Jane, it didn't work.

Thank you for your help!
