Slow to no internet after Vista Updates
I hope you guys can help me. I've been running Vista Ultimate x64 since this past September. My issue popped up Saturday morning. Friday night it was working perfectly and before I went to bed I applied Vista updates. What's happening is this. Anything that needs DNS resolution on the internet resolves very slowly then a few seconds to minutes later it takes so long to resolve names that applications requesting the resolution time out. So email times out. Webpages time out. My antivirus can't pull down its updates. Torrent downloads work fine. Chat programs work fine. I have a LAN. Both of my XP laptops are still able to work normally on the internet. I thought maybe it was my FiOS router so I reassigned the IP addresses for my computers. No change. I can reboot the Vista box and get connectivity for a short time. The time varies. Sometimes it's only a few minutes and other times it's over an hour. I installed SP1 hoping it would resolve this but no luck. I can access file shares on my other machines from my Vista box w/o any issue. My laptops have no issues streaming A/V from my Vista box. This is driving me crazy. Update: From the command prompt I am able to FTP and telnet to my web hosting company just fine. Odd.
