Network hangs every 60 seconds - a plea to Microsoft for a fix

There is a problem with Wireless Zero Configuration (or its equivalent in
Vista) which results in wireless network throughput hanging for a few 100s of
mSec every 60 seconds. It is believed to be caused by the periodic scan for
new networks. The same problem existed in XP, but it was possible to disable
WZC in XP; it does not seem to be possible to disable the "feature" in Vista
though. This is a big problem for online gamers. I personally am finding it a
problem as it causes Remote Desktop and file server connections to time out.

The problem is quite widely acknowledged and referenced on the web, even on
MS's own site e.g.

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...WINHEC2004.ppt (see pg 9 of the PPT file)
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...fm/677463.html
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Wirel...s-t101910.html

This is causing me a real headache, and many others as well I think. Will MS
produce a resolution to this please? Pretty please?

Have you tried to update your network card driver to a latest one?
You can try it.

RE: Network hangs every 60 seconds - a plea to Microsoft for a fix

Thank you Vagrant. I've been searching for a clear description and a solution
to this problem for the last 6 months. Vista Anti-lag works for me. Not sure
why it works for some and not others. Windows definately is completely
negligent on this.
