I've had Vista business running on my PC for a few weeks now, and whilst I like the appearance of it and the fact it's a little bit 'snappier' than XP, I'm having issues with network/internet connection.
The way it manifests itself is my connection will suddenly die, but only as far as loading web pages. The loading bar will get stuck, then stay 'empty' and display nothing but a blank page on any successive attempt to refresh or when I try another page. At this point, and this is what's confusing me the most - is that I can still receive email 99% of the time (not tried to send any when the issue occurs). Another annoying factor is i can't download any torrents due to connection death. If I try to open my torrent client after the connection goes down, it goes all spazzy and won't respond.
If I leave FF or IE trying to load the page, it will eventually BSOD. If I try to shut down or restart at this point, nothing happens, so I'm left to reset the PC manually.
I don't think it's a network gubbins driver issue, as it happens both with my Asus P5K-VM onboard LAN and my Abit Airpace.
It has been like this from the point of installing Vista, and seems to occur after about 30 minutes of browsing.
XP is fine with no issues whatsoever.
Any ideas?
