| | wired network problems I have a wired network with a broadband router attached. I have an XP computer and a Vista Home premium computer on it. Recently I have tried to add a new computer that runs Vista Home Ultimate on it. The linksys set up program shows that it is attached to the network, but the internet nor file sharing work. After speding a hour with Linksys tech, they determined that there is something in the Vista version that last computer has that won't let it work on the network. Even pings to the router are unsucessful. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this? |

I then put the vista ultimate machine in the XP computers spot and it appeared to work as well. I then ran free speed tests on both machines and found that they both d/l about 7000+k and 512 K upload which is fine. However, I then switched the computers back to their original position as we need the vista machine where it is currently located and it again runs very slowly. It takes about 5 minutes for the avg web page to load if it does at all, the same for email. Some other details I left out yesterday is that I am connected to the internet through a Motorola 5100 broadband modem and the router is a Linksys befsr41 ver 2.1. I want to thank you for your taking the time to help me with this issue. Thanks, Fiery "Robert L.
