right on brother! Of course! Been using it since version 10 (when I switched from Mac to PC) and fell in love with it ever since. sal

Windows Media Player 11

Thanks for the info. I just downloaded the XP Drivers for my Ethernet card, disabled UAC, restarted and installed the drivers, restarted again and it still does not works. I activated UAC and restarted and then tried, still will not work. I guess im out of luck.

I did that and I still have the same problem. Remember im using Firefox, Opera and IE 7 to test the sites and I get the same problem with the same sites in all three browsers. I found someone who said in another forum: "I was able to reolve the issue by disabling TCP Checksum Offload for ip4 and ip 6 as well as disabling UDP Checksum Offload in ip4 and ip 6." This is in the device managers, under Network Adapters. You expand it, right click on your Ethernet card and click Properties. Then you go to thea advanced tab. The issue I have is that mine does not presents any ip4 or ip6 checksum in the list to disable. sal

Windows XP Pro is the best.

I tried that, but it did not work. Thanks

Ok. I tried to ping the sites from the Command Prompt and I get "request failed" for all of them, they return nothing. The sites I am able to view without problem all return the request. sal

Hello fizban2 I found this post in a blog showing a solution to the same problem I have, but my Network Adapter does not presents me with an TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4) option to disable. It does not offers one for IPv6 either. I bought a new Ethernet Card yesterday, much better than the integrated one I have, that supports up to 1gigabit and I still have the same problem. I will try to ping the addresses once I finish downloading something. Will let you know how it goes. sal

I just installed the drivers for the Ethernet Adapter from my XP installation, to see if it was a problem with the drivers Vista installed. Restarted and the problem persist. The websites I listed, and a couple of others have never worked, either from a clean restart or when waking the computer from sleep, so hibernation does not seems to be the problem. I am thinking that I may need to buy a new Ethernet card, it is strange tho, because the same card has no problem when used from XP. sal

I went to the device manager and clicked on "Update Driver" for the Network Adapter and it told me it is up to date. Windows says it is a "SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter". Maybe there is something I must change? Or perhaps I need a new Ethernet card? sal

Thanks for the tip. I tried adding all sites to trusted sites, rebooted and it still does not works. I even disabled UAC and that did nothing. sal

What a bummer. That is the only thing that im having problems with in Vista. All else is working fine. sal

Nope. In fact, I tried things like turning off firewall, adding the three browsers top the allowed program list in the firewall settings, installed an anti virus so that all the lights in Security Center were green, ran the program as administrator, etc after I was getting the problems to see if it fixed it, but it did nothing. The problem persist. I have tried everything as far as my knowledge permits, but I have been unable to fix it. sal

Greetings I am having some problems with some websites after I installed Vista RC1. The following websites load with no problems in the Windows XP Pro installation I have and on the same three browsers I tried it on. But on Vista, the pages load only the top navigation bar or just a part of the website, really slowly and then hang without loading the rest. http://bink.nu http://channel9.msdn.com/ http://start.com http://windowsmarketplace.com There are others. I have tried to load them in Firefox 2, Opera 9 and IE 7 and I get the same result. I was thinking that it had something to do with the Java, Shockwave or Flash plug ins, but I was able to load other websites in all three browsers that use them, and I have installed the latest version of each. So, that does not seems to be the problem. Any help is appreciated. sal

I love Firefox, specially the new version 2 Beta. Best browser ever. Opera is alright I guess, not really my cup of tea tho.
