Many routers (especially those provided by ISPs) are not fully Vista compatible.

What router are you using? Is there a firmware upgrade available for your router?

EDIT: Hi tanyel and welcome to Club Vaio!!

the router is bt's own one that comes with option 3 max its all windows vista compatible and up to date. i have been on the phone with them for the past two weeks. according to them the problem lies with my laptop as the tests they done on the line shows everyhting works fine. i have used my desktop pc with the router again on vista and all works fine. just the laptop is really slow connection

Is the desktop connected wirelessly?

What speed do you get if you connect the laptop by ethernet cable?

Do you have a PC without Vista to test the speed?

Just wondering if we should be looking at Vista or the ISP as the problem.

none without vista. before i done the upgrade to vista it use to work super fast. now its the opposite. can either be vista the card i dont think its the isp because nothing has changed there.

Yes a command window

after the command window opens it shuts staight away is that correct? the speed has improved though. i was connecting with 100k now its jumped up 2500k so now much better but still should be faster.

Yeah it executes the command and that's it.

My friend Pengbo has a page on MTU settings and TCP: http://www.pengbo.co.uk/ppages/tweaks.shtml
